Creo Surfacing: WEEK TWO
creo surfacing training Description
This WEEK TWO Creo surface modeling course is essential for product designers looking to push the boundaries of Creo’s surfacing tools and for those leading design teams at major manufacturers. Building on the foundation of the WEEK ONE Creo Surfacing training, this class elevates seasoned users to the next level in Creo Surface modeling. Participants will delve into advanced techniques to leverage Creo Surfacing in innovative ways, often uncovering methods that even experienced users may not have discovered. The course also emphasizes methodologies for making quick adjustments and designing with light reflections, empowering designers to achieve expert proficiency. Additionally, this training is supplemented with industry techniques used in automotive Class-A surfacing or customized to include any of our Creo Surface training classes. This intensive course comprises eight two-day sessions condensed into a five-day format listed below. This Creo Surfacing course is aggressive and demanding.
