Creo Sheetmetal Training

Creo Sheetmetal Training Description

Creo Sheet Metal allows flexibility in design. Changes are made and updated parametrically throughout the entire design process. This comprehensive suite of Creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls, bends, punches, notches, forms, and relief features. Using a variety of Y and K factor bend allowance calculations, designers can create flat patterns of the designs. The result is parametric, fully-associative solid models of sheet metal parts and assemblies. Participants have the option to customize this course to fit project requirements. Seasoned sheet metal users should consider our Mastering Sheet Metal training intensive. Your team can also opt for a customized full week of Creo Sheet metal training.  Fill out the registration form now

Creo sheetmetal training Discussions

Creo Sheetmetal pivot Bracket
  • Discuss differences between Creo thin features and Creo Sheet Metal
  • Flatten out the part to visualize design and manufacturing needs
  • Make Drawings of the sheet metal part, incorporating Dimensions, Bend Order tables, Flat Patterns & fully designed parts
  • Discuss order of feature creation
  • Discuss a wide variety of convert tools
  • Discuss why rips are important with respect to stretching
  • Discuss warn out tooling and how to compensate using Bend Tables
  • Creo IGES & STEP imports and converting those files into a Sheet Metal part in order to flatten
  • Manage the flattened state with various techniqes
