Curriculum
Introduction to the Interface and Sketching
This foundational section starts with a comprehensive introduction to CAD principles and Creo Parametric's features. You'll familiarize yourself with the software's settings, options, and workbench interface. The bulk of this section is dedicated to mastering sketching, covering tools for creating lines, arcs, circles, and other geometric elements. You'll learn to add dimensions and constraints to your sketches, ensuring accuracy and precision. Multiple practice examples reinforce concepts throughout this module, building your confidence before moving on to more advanced modeling techniques. Topics include detailed exploration of sketching tools (Parts I-V), sketch editing, inspection, and the creation of two practical sample sketches.
Part Modeling
This section dives into the core of 3D modeling with Creo Parametric. You'll learn to create complex parts using various features like extrusion, revolution, cuts, and the use of datum planes, axes, and points. Master the creation of holes, rounds, chamfers, ribs (profile and trajectory), and draft features. Multiple practice examples will allow you to create intricate parts. The course also covers advanced techniques including shelling, patterning (I-III), sweeping geometry (I-II), helical sweeps, blending sketches, rotational blends, and swept blends, providing a complete understanding of part modeling techniques.
Surface Modeling
Here, you'll explore the creation of surfaces using different techniques, including extrusion, revolution, boundary blends, filled surfaces, and curve projection. You will master offsetting surfaces, intersecting curves, trimming surfaces, merging surfaces, adding thickness to surfaces, and creating solid models from surfaces. A comprehensive practice example concludes this section, allowing you to solidify your newly acquired skills.
Assembly Modeling
This section focuses on assembling multiple parts into complex products. You'll learn to open and place parts in the assembly environment, adding constraints to establish relationships between components. Master the techniques of creating parts within assemblies, using repeat and mirror components, and patterning components. Practice examples will guide you through assembling complex designs. Additional topics include exploding components, creating bills of materials (BOM), and checking for global interference.
Drafting
The final section focuses on creating professional-grade engineering drawings. You'll learn to create new drawings, generate base views, projection views, auxiliary views, half, partial, or broken views, and section views (I-II). You'll add dimensions and symbols to your drawings, and learn how to create sketches and exploded views. Finally, you'll master the creation of a detailed bill of materials, providing complete documentation of your designs.
