Manufacturing (CAM)

I want to use trochoidal milling with 5 Axis machining. Is this function given in Creo 5.0? I added "trochoidal_milling" in the config.pro. After selecting the trajectory milling the two parameters "trochoid_width" and "trochoid_depth appear, where i can configure my milling path. When I switch to 5-axis machining the parameters disappear. Why is this happening? I am using Creo Parametric 5.0. Thank you in advance!

Hi all. I’m looking to learn to use CREO during my free time at work. I do rapid prototyping work for a large company, the floor level machinists all use MasterCAM and the engineers and CAD people all use CREO. My department kind of falls in between so we have full licenses to both, but none of us know how to use CREO besides pulling .stp files.I’ve been watching videos on youtube and the little bit of CAD I’ve picked up seems much easier than making models with MasterCAM. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be many tutorials for CREO compared to MasterCAM/Fusion/whatever. Anyone have any recommendations? Does the license for CREO Parametric include access to PTC University/LEARN?Thanks!Paul  

I'm currently working on the bone prosthesis design incorporated with lattice structure. I'm using lattice feature in Creo 4.0 to generate the lattice. However, I have a problem when CREO isn't able to generate the lattice according to the shape that I want. What is the reason for this and how to solve it?

I am learning to use Creo 4.0 Manufacturing to create toolpath and send code to our Haas 3 axis mill.  I've been fairly successful so far but I am struggling to understand how to apply lead in and cutter compensation and get it to output G41/G42.  I have the Creo 4.0 manufacturing "Black Book" tutorial but the menus and options appear to be outdated and are much different than what I see in my app. I've narrowed it down to a "CUTCOM" command but if I turn it on,  it still will not generate G41 when I process code.  Is there an updated tutorial that will walk me through how to use cutter comp and other functions?? thanks  

i HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE POST FOR THIS MACHINE BUT UNABLE TO MAKE 3+2 MOVE AND TRUE 5 AXIS WORKING ON THE SAME POST.  DOES ANYONE HAD ANY SUCCESS FOR THIS POST YET?.

Hey all Any one has this post processor successfully utilized.    Thank you 

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0 7.0.0.0When inputting value for formula driven lattice -> cell fill -> wall thickness, I enter 0.1. Error message says: you have entered a value 0.1000 that is out of range (0.5100 to 1000000.0000) Click OK to correct, or Cancel to return to the previous setting. Is this just an inherent limiting feature of the Creo lattice functionality? It seems to make it so that only extremely large or extremely bloated lattice structures can be created.

hi every one .i need some help .i need heidenhain postprocessor  for 4 axis ..if any body have pls share with me.i shall be very thankfull.

I am using Creo Parametric 5.0 5.0.4.0I'm trying to remove material ina rotating sketch.Applies at 4 microns, but not at 3 microns.I don't know the cause.Is there a way to define it below 3 microns?

My programmers use Creo 2 and have Vericut for material removal checking.  When we went to Creo 3 (M190) this went away and now it has an internal material removal that doesn't work well for them.  Is there anyway to get Vericut to work in Creo 3?

Hello All   Does someone know what is the Gpost Code (programming) to get a parameters from the NC Sequence and convert in a NC code?   I would like to take the parameter FLASH_TOOL  YES or NO and insert the position on the Spindle on the CNC program.   For example If I created a NC sequence with the parameter FLASH_TOOL  YES on the code on my CNC program has to be  M111 M19 S900 M110   If I created a NC sequence with the parameter FLASH_TOOL  NO on the code on my CNC program has to be  M111 M19 S2700 M110   If you prefer could you send me this answer on my e-mail. cristiano.afarelli@bakerhughes.com   That will help me a lot   Thanks   

Some customers asked us about the possibility of DME components in EMX – the tooling application for Creo Parametric. For this development, we have selected DME Europe as a component partner. We have now already implemented the first batch of types in Expert Moldbase Extension, with more to follow. Find out more about which components are already implemented here. 

I always want material removal simulation to stop where tool must be changed.  How to make this a default?

Hi, is it possible to change the material in the operation setup with a parameter? I attach photos.   Thanks

I've devised a milling sequence which will make my part, but I would like what I've done criticized for my choice, and sequence, of methods. I would post an image of the part and then list sequence ie. mill window, face, rough, profile, finish and include tool choice. Cycle time is not really an issue, but I guess I worry that what I'm doing may not be best. CNC Mill is a Sherline 2000 running under LinuxCNC.  I did the Post with GPOST and it has worked fine with other parts.   If this is reasonable to ask, how should I post my topic?

there appears to be something wrong in my Gpost Config.  The NCL clearly shows the first feed rate, but the posted ngc is missing it.  seems likely to be a problem in gpost. Mine is a simple 3-axis FANUC post modified to work with LinuxCNC which is the controller for my little mill.  Where would you look for this problem?   The NCL File: $$* Pro/CLfile Version 7.0 - 7.0.0.0$$-> MFGNO / BALDEHOLDER3PARTNO / BALDEHOLDER3$$-> FEATNO / 15355MACHIN / UNCX01, 33$$-> CUTCOM_GEOMETRY_TYPE / OUTPUT_ON_CENTERUNITS / INCHESLOADTL / 6$$-> CUTTER / 0.092000$$-> CSYS / 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, $0.0000000000, 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, $0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 1.0000000000, 0.0000000000SPINDL / RPM, 2600.000000, CLWFEDRAT / 3.000000, IPMGOTO / 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 1.0000000000GOTO / 0.6750000000, 0.8718272424, 0.1250000000CYCLE / DEEP, DEPTH, 0.192640, STEP, 0.009200, IPM, 3.000000, CLEAR,$0.006000, RETURN, 0.

Please help!   When I apply a shrinkage of 1.3% my model seems to go really small then sends all my volumes into error (please see the attached photo)   I have tried to re do this a few times from scratch and it happens every time.   Can anyone see where I am going wrong?

I cannot see how to limit the height of the retract in a peck cycle so that once the drill has reached depth of say two diameters, it does not retract higher than the top of the work-piece - idea is to prevent coolant from washing chips into the hole. If you think this idea is crazy, it won't hurt my feeling if you write it.

Hello ; We need a Post Processor for our 4 Axis HMC machine ( Hyundai Wia XH8000) with Fanuc 31i Model B control. CAM software is PTC Creo 7 .Please message me if you can help .

Dear machining expert, please check the attached video. I am facing a surface finishing issue between the nontangential curve. please advise already use G5.1 Q1 R10 but no change.     Regards   Asif

see these videos both videos shown surface machining on same surface one is from power mill other is from creo parametric...in creo machining there is some motion pause during one patch to other patch of surface ..but in power mill no pause continue machining ..why this is happening...is it software capabilities issue or i am some thing missing..please advise..   fisa(view in My Videos)(view in My Videos)

dear people I have an issue about gouges in creo file there is no gauge showing in my manufacturing file .but when i checked in module works or vericut ...show gouges on the finished part ..please advise I am stuck du to it..please check to attach files   regards   fisa

I am looking to change the direction the tool moves so that it moves down the face of the part with each pass.   It wants to cut in the z direction.  I would like it to cut in the x direction.   I believe this yellow arrow has something to do with it.  Is there a way to rotate this arrow?
