This workshop has been specifically designed to work for those interested in gaining a high level of Creo surfaces used as tools as opposed to managing form with surfaces. Usually, there are less than two or three participants in this workshop, so instructor:student ratio is excellent. This courses includes 5 to 16 hrs of the 16 hr Import Data Doctor class.   

Significant experience with Creo is always helpful.

This workshop is an intense 3 or 5 days and is perfect for anyone with or without a degree who wants to excel using Creo. This class is also imperative for those engineering technicians looking to be able to manage troublesome issues with ease or to become the go-to person at work.

Prerequisite -

 Only basic Creo experience is necessary for this class.

• • • Learn workflow to help you get projects done easily using more robust curves and surfaces
    • Learn to utilize parameters with relations to drive geometry 
    • Use Extruded and Swept surfaces to create simple surfaces
    • Learn to manage Failed surfaces effectively 
    • Learn to build thin protrusions from single and merged surfaces
    • Use surfaces to effect solid geometry and manage problem solids
    • Learn to make imports solids using  powerful Data Doctor tools
    • Learn to manage IGES & STEP geometry using the powerful Import Data Doctor/li>
    • Pattern & mirror surface copies
    • Curves & surfaces with top-down design
    • Learn to drive mechanism with curves and surfaces
    • Learn to use Surfaces to cut away unwanted geometry easily or to add geometry where using solids might be impossible or unmanageable
    • Use surfaces to make changes to ECG or External Copied Geometry where you do not have Windchill permissions to the skeleton part

• • • Discuss Basics of surfacing with four part boundaries and discuss problems with three part boundaries
    • Discuss building robust curves to aid in creating draft when the draft feature does not work
    • Surfaces as tools not to generate form but to aid in part and feature development 
    • Discuss using surface copies as time stamps for mirrors and published geometry with examples
    • Discuss using curves and surfaces with top-down design 

• • • • Copy Paste & Copy Paste Special with sweeps
      • Top-down design
      • Convert IGES Aluminum plate to a parametric part
      • Manage Modifications to ECG where designer does not have access to Skeleton model
      • There are 15+ other exercises in this class

There are 12 tutorials for this first Surfacing Workshop in total. More experienced users tend to move more quickly through the materials.
