The advantages of using CAD models in downstream processes

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 04-Apr-2013 12:54:00

With Creo 2.0, manufacturing experts can leverage design data to create, optimise and validate machining sequences. Manufacturing teams and product design teams are able to work concurrently, knowing the any design modifications will be instantaneously and automatically included in the existing machining routines. So, even as the product design evolves, they remain up to date.

An Introduction to Parametric Modelling

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 27-Mar-2013 15:23:00

Years ago, when parametric features-based modelling was first released, it really did revolutionise the CAD industry. It fundamentally changed the way that engineering organisations not only developed 3D models, but also how they made changed to the designs as well. By adopting a parametric approach to creating models, engineers are also setting the clear parameters, features and relationships of the models, which is intended to capture the product’s behaviour. Parametric features-based CAD tools provide a lot of power and help to automate some of the engineering processes involved in product development.

How to Sketch Your First Part in Creo Parametric 2.0

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 28-Feb-2013 14:09:00

Creo Parametric has improved the workflow used to improve sketching. Now, you are able to start sketching after only two clicks. For example, to being to sketch an extrude feature just start the extrude tool (located in the ribbon user interface) and then select the sketch plane. That’s it. Two clicks and you are ready to start sketching. You can also do the reverse. This time, we will select the sketch plane and then the extrude tool. Start by selecting the front datum plane as the sketch plane and then start the extrude tool. Regardless of your approach, after just two clicks you are ready to begin sketching.

How can manufacturers increase product potential with Creo

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 26-Feb-2013 16:40:00

Having the ability and the freedom to share that data, pass that information, from design, manufacturing, quality with ease can only help to improve product development and product potential. Many manufacturers are often restricted in the with their CAD tools. They don’t support a flexible, agile process, to make sure that this is all seamless.

How to cope with late stage design changes?

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 12-Feb-2013 17:47:00

As you know all too well, many design changes occur late in the process or even many months after the original design was created. Late stage design changes can be a real problem for companies. You want to be able to respond quickly to the challenge, without having to sacrifice your design intent. But, this isn’t always easy to do.

The Definitive Creo Parametric 2.0 Guide

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 25-Jan-2013 14:34:00

In this definitive Creo Parametric 2.0 guide, I'll take you through the key new features and functions in Creo. Some of my favourite enhancements within Creo Parametric are around the user experience that we have changed in the product. One of the first things you notice when you fire up Creo Parametric is the new user interface. We've implemented the Microsoft fluent-based UI. This allows you to access the commands more easily. We've grouped certain commands for you. We've added a command finder for you, so that you can easily locate the commands in the ribbon.  All this makes it much easier to work with your model, define the geometry you want to do, and it streamlines the design process for you.

How Creo Parametric Freestyle makes freeform surface designs easier

Posted by Emma Rudeck on 21-Dec-2012 12:12:00

Traditionally, when doing surface design work, you need to spend a lot of time figuring out how to best get the surfaces to flow and be as smooth as you require them to be. A lot of the time you need to have a certain level of expertise to achieve this. But, Creo Parametric introduces new capabilities for freeform surface design, which comes in the form of Creo Parametric freestyle. This is standard with all seats of Creo Parametric.
