Lunch & Learn
These lunch and learn sessions are typically held over Zoom and are designed to provide participants with the opportunity to learn new skills or information while also enjoying a meal.
"Getting started in Creo Sheetmetal" A Creo12: one hour learning presentation
When – September 3rd – Registration is already open, Noon ET / 11CT
What – “Learning Sheetmetal” Creo 12.0 tools
We love learning, which is probably why our instructors teach classes. One of the Design Engine instructors Bart Brejcha grew up racing. Bart’s first lessons in sheet metal came as a young 8 year old child racing motorcycles with his dad. Crashing sometimes, something always bends or breaks. The challenge was to quickly fabricate a new bracket or mount so that we could get back on track for the next heat race. With only a vise, an adjustable wrench, maybe a grinder, and limited resources at the motocross track, Bart’s father took the time to explain the fundamentals of sheet metal. Stretch, flat patterns, grain direction, and positioning the flats so as not to be wasteful of scrap & strength of materials. Everything in racing is a learning opportunity. Those early experiences made sheet metal personal for him and taught the value of resourcefulness, problem-solving, and materials ie. Titanium & Aluminum are apt to break, whereas steel is more malleable.
Fast forward to today: As designers and engineers using Creo, we’re no longer limited to makeshift tools at the track. We have access to advanced job shops like SendCutSend, Xometry, OSH Cut, and in-house fabrication centers. And the best part is Sheetmetal is included in every Creo license. So if you haven’t tried Creo Sheetmetal yet, now is your free learning opportunity in this Lunch & Learn.
As part of a PTC Learning challenge on the PTC community forum, Creo Community Challenge: #8 SHEETMETAL
PTC Community I wanted to offer this Lunch & Learn to offer a head start for those who want to participate in the Challenge. Pass this URL around to your coworkers.
