Creo Parametric 10.0: Sheet Metal Design

Please note: The print version of this guide is printed in black and white with images in grayscale.

The Creo Parametric 10.0: Sheet Metal Design guide enables you to use your introductory modeling skills to create sheet metal models, including walls, bends, notches, and form features. On completion of this guide, you will have acquired the skills to confidently manipulate sheet metal geometry, adjust bend developed lengths, and convert solid parts.

This guide was developed against Creo Parametric 10.0.3.0.

Topics Covered

• The sheet metal environment
• Primary and secondary walls
• Bend relief
• Corner relief
• Regular unbends, back bends, and cuts
• Notches and punches
• Bend features
• Unbending complex geometry
• Sheet metal forms
• Documenting a sheet metal part
• Converting solid parts
• Sheet metal setup
• Investigating a sheet metal part
