Ebook: Creo Parametric 4.0 for Designers

Creo Parametric 4.0 for Designers textbook is written to help the readers effectively use the modeling and assembly tools by utilizing the parametric approach of Creo Parametric 4.0 effectively. This book provides detailed description of the tools that are commonly used in modeling, assembly, sheetmetal as well as in mold. This book also covers the latest surfacing techniques like Freestyle and Style with the help of relevant examples and illustrations. The Creo Parametric 4.0 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.

The examples and tutorials used in this textbook will ensure that the users can relate the knowledge of this book with the actual mechanical industry designs. Every chapter begins with a tools 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.
