Creo Surfacing Restyle & Reverse Engineering REX
Creo REX course Description
Learn to transform physical products from digital scan data into digitally correct complex Creo surface & solid geometry as an integral part of your product development process. Participants will learn to manipulate point cloud imports scanned from clay or existing products using Creo Restyle to learn Reverse Engineering Extension workflows and techniques.
Using Creo to reverse engineer enables a productive use of imports in Creo Assemblies of intellectual property, for checking interference to develop more effective products.
This Creo Restyle Reverse Engineering training course is a two-day intensive course developed for seasoned product designers and engineers. We guide you in creating surfaces and solids from scan data with a series of hands-on exercises.
This Creo REX training Course is usually offered as part of the week-long format called the Creo Reverse Engineering WEEK
CREO REX COURSE Topics
- Review basic import functions of scanned data and learn to reimport the faced data where a specific Coordinate system can make better efficiency as opposed to a random CSYS derived from the scanning technician
- Edit definition functions for import geometry and facet data
- Create delete and recreate facet data from points on various tessellation models
- Create, edit, and manipulate freeform polynomial surfaces, including high-degree B-Spline and bezier surfaces using the faceted data and curves
- Learn to use Refine, Decimate & Relax, & Clean faceted data appropriately
- Use curves on facet data to limit AutoSurface & other 3D Mesh Sketch Tools
- Learn to utilize a multitude of imports and connect several restyle features for a finished solid model
