Creo NC Milling

CAE University > Courses > Creo NC Milling

Creo NC is the premier programming system used by mold makers and production shops. The Creo NC Milling course has been created for the users of PTC software.

NC Milling Course

We have developed the Creo NC course, keeping in mind both beginner and advanced-level users. The course offers numerous tutorials that take the reader from the very basic concepts to the most advanced techniques, step by step. The only requirement for the course is basic knowledge of the software. All exercises are accompanied by the related CAD models for the user to practice. Finished models are also supplied to compare the work done by the user.

The course has been developed not only from a software point of view, but great emphasis has been laid on the actual machining conditions. The self-paced course elaborates on the concepts in sufficient detail, with great emphasis on practical examples.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the following the course, a novice user of Creo NC will be able to easily machine any CAD model on a three-axis milling machine, generate required downstream documentation for job setting, create NC templates, and configure Post-Processor for a given CNC controller. An experienced user will learn new techniques to produce more efficient and machine-friendly CNC programs.

Course Overview

The training material is divided into the following sections.

Each section is accompanied with exercises to practice the concepts learned. CAD models are accompanied for the user practice. Finished models are also supplied to compare the work done by the user.
