Creo Parametric 5.0 for Designers, 5th Edition

Creo Parametric 5.0 for Designers textbook is written to help the readers effectively use the modeling and assembly tools by utilizing the parametric approach of Creo Parametric 5.0 effectively. This book provides a detailed description of the tools that are commonly used in modeling, assembly, sheetmetal as well as in mold design. This book also covers the latest surfacing techniques like Freestyle and Style with the help of relevant examples and illustrations. The Creo Parametric 5.0 for Designers book further elaborates on the procedure of generating the drawings of a model or assembly, which are used for documentation of a model or assembly. Also, it includes the concepts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.

The examples and tutorials used in this textbook ensure that the users can relate the knowledge gained through this book with the actual mechanical industry designs. Every chapter begins with a tool section that provides a brief information of the Creo Parametric tools. This approach allows the user to use this book initially as a learning tool and then as a reference material.

Following are the additional features of this book:

• Consists of 17 chapters that are organized in a pedagogical sequence.
• Comprehensive coverage of Creo Parametric 5.0 concepts and techniques.
• Tutorial approach to explain the concepts of Creo Parametric 5.0.
• Hundreds of illustrations for easy understanding of concepts.
• More than 40 real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials, 40 as exercises, and projects with step-by-step explanation.
• Self-Evaluation Tests and Review Questions at the end of the chapters to help the users assess their knowledge.
• Technical support by contacting techsupport@cadcim.com.
