Creo Level 7: Sheet Metal

This comprehensive suite of Creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls, bends, punches, notches, forms, ribs (as sketched forms) and relief features. Using a variety of Y and K factor bend allowance calculations, designers can create a flattened state of their 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. Ask to speak to the instructor before your class date.

Several brackets, deep drawn form, and combination. Curriculum can be combined with Creo Surfacing tools for automobile sheet metal functions or for smaller battery contacts to mating components such as sheet metal boxes to house a computer power supply.

This and all Design-Engine courses are offered onsite at your facility. To speak to an Account Manager to arrange a class, call 312.226.8339 today.

Introduction to constraint based modeling using the Creo Sheetmetal module making changes utilizing the latest release of Pro/ENGINEER. This Creo sheet metal training course is developed for new users who want to become proficient learning Creo Sheet metal in just one week. We help you learn Creo, not read to you from an exercise. In this course we help design engineers learn how to make changes quickly to set them up for becoming expert faster. As with all Design-Engine classes, participants keep the training material login and password for life.
