Creo Surfacing Advanced Import to Create Parametric Surfaces
Description
This Creo training course is designed for experienced users to master parametric-oriented reverse engineering techniques within the Creo environment. You will be introduced to managing import data, or more likely you have already taken that course and will learn to remodel these imports into an efficient robust parametric, and easily modifiable database. The course covers creating accurate complex geometries from point cloud or STEP imports using parametric curves and surfaces in your version of Creo.
Participants will work with a choice of Rhino, Geomagic, Restyle & Alias surface imports or various point cloud data. We will guide you through an efficient Creo workflow for properly laying out geometry. This class teaches design engineers how to make quick changes and advance their expertise rapidly. This course is intended for designers and engineers who have completed the WEEK ONE Creo Surfacing course or have a healthy level of experience using Creo Surfacing. While prior import experience is not required, participants should have a high level of surfacing experience due to the advanced nature of this workshop.
Topics
- Review basic import functions
- Redefining steps for import geometry
- Learn to manipulate import geometry
- Review in-depth advanced import functions
- Manage various import geometries
- Learn techniqes for changing import data into the appropriate position for managing the model construction process
- Discuss solutions to issues with import geometry
- Learn workflow solutions and problem-solving techniques with Creo Surfacing and Creo Style with respect to quickly generating the shapes
- Learn to maintain some parametric ability with multiple imports

- Use layers to manage offset surfaces in the solidification effort
- Learn to iterate change to the resultant geometry for team approvals
- Create parametric curves and surfaces on top of static import geometry then learn how to remove that static geometry to form parametric geometry.
- Explore various Inspection techniques to compare one parametric model to existing scan data
- inspect and compare both import with newly parametric geometry
