Providing a step-by-step guide for the implementation of virtual manufacturing using Creo Parametric software (formerly known as Pro-Engineer), this book creates an engaging and interactive learning experience for manufacturing engineering students. Featuring graphic illustrations of simulation processes and operations, and written in accessible English to promote user-friendliness, the book covers key topics in the field including: the engraving machining process, face milling, profile milling, surface milling, volume rough milling, expert machining, electric discharge machining (EDM), and area turning using the lathe machining process. Maximising reader insights into how to simulate material removal processes, and how to generate cutter location data and G-codes data, this valuable resource equips undergraduate, postgraduate, BTech and HND students in the fields of manufacturing engineering, computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) with transferable skills and knowledge. This book is also intended for technicians, technologists and engineers new to Creo Parametric software.

This manual helps engineers and manufacturers improve their knowledge of computer-aided manufacturing software (Pro/Manufacture). This manual—intended for those with some familiarity of Pro/Creo Elements or Pro/Engineer and a basic understanding of machining operations such as milling and turning when consulting this manual—includes numerous tutorials to help you improve your skills. The handbook guides the user to start with a part, create stock around the part, add tools to the list, create different machining sequences and in the end obtain G codes for different Computer Numerical Control machines. You will learn more about three-, four-, and five-axis milling along with two-axis turning. The simple, click-by-click procedure and numerous images make directions easy to follow. CAM software is rapidly evolving, and it’s becoming more powerful every day. Anyone who wants to work in a CAM area must have a basic understanding of G and M codes to succeed in the field. Hone your skills and keep the process safe, precise and accurate with this detailed guidebook.

This book presents the selected proceedings of the (third) fourth Vehicle and Automotive Engineering conference, reflecting the outcomes of theoretical and practical studies and outlining future development trends in a broad field of automotive research. The conference’s main themes included design, manufacturing, economic and educational topics.

Creo Parametric Modeling with Augmented Reality Tutorial-based introduction to 3D Modeling with Creo Parametric, including images to be scanned and viewed using an AR mobile app Using a tutorial approach, Creo Parametric Modeling with Augmented Reality provides an introduction to the modeling techniques and functionality of Creo Parametric, beginning with an overview of parametric design and Creo’s sketching capabilities and 3D tools; proceeding through design methods and skills related to patterns, dimensions, sections, assemblies, and tolerances and GD&T; and concluding by connecting Creo’s capabilities to the more specialized skills of Finite Element Analysis, mechanism animation, and sheet metal design. Each chapter includes highly visual, step-by-step examples that readers can follow to develop their modeling skills. The tutorials can be used on their own or in conjunction with an AR mobile app that allows select images to be viewed as 3D images that can be rotated, scaled, and exploded/collapsed. The text helps readers to visualize and assess model relationships, history, measurements, and mass properties. Written by a highly qualified author with experience in both academia and industry, Creo Parametric Modeling with Augmented Reality includes information on: Parametric design foundational concepts, sketcher and 3D tools, revolved features and sweeps, patterns, and drawings and dimensions Sections, auxiliary, and detail views, assemblies, assembly drawings, tolerances and GD&T, finite element analysis, and mechanism animations How to use Creo software to interpret and communicate with 3D solid models and define their design intent and constraints How to use current computer aided engineering graphics software, recognize and apply standard graphical principles, and utilize CAD software to create models, drawings, and assemblies With no fluff and many visual learning aids, Creo Parametric Modeling with Augmented Reality is an essential resource for engineering students learning 3D modeling for the first time, as well as for practicing engineers who need to brush up on their Creo Parametric skills.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to 3D CAD/CAM modelling using Creo™ Parametric (Creo) software. This concise textbook consists of ten lessons covering the basics in Part and Assembly Modelling, Mould Design, NC Simulation, and Engineering Drawings. Each lesson provides essential knowledge and guides the user through the process of performing a practical exercise or task. The modelling philosophy, implementation of corresponding features, and commands behind each exercise are explained and presented in a step-by-step manner. The material is richly illustrated with screenshots and icons from the software interface to facilitate the learning process.Suitable for beginners and intermediate users, CAD/CAM with Creo Parametric enables the reader to make a quick start in learning how to use complex 3D CAD/CAM software such as Creo in engineering design and manufacturing. The aim is to develop an understanding of the main modelling principles and software tools as a basis for independent learning and solving more complex engineering problems.
