Manufacturing (CAM)

Hello Community,I am using 4 axis cnc mill with B axis as a rotational axis. I used various offset surfaces for this program which you can see in the design tree.I have spent considerable time in searching different forums and videos to find a solution to this problem.I would like to show rather than explain in words. (sorry I had to hide the component name)1. This is the work piece and the reference model as below.2.For better understanding, this view will be used. You can see that sequence one is fine without gouging into the reference model. 3. So is the case with all the individual surface milling operations.4. But when I run the tool path for the operation OP010 as whole, the tool passes through the model as shown  Please suggest me how I can control these 'motions between the operations' without gouging into my workpiece.thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

How can I get a HighFeed Mill to adjust the output correctly in relation to its geometry. The model I have is a STEP file. I am able to get a correct path when milling a vertical wall but it won't recognize that the Cutter_Diam is not at the bottom of the tool. It is essentially adjusting it like it is a square endmill. Here is what the tool looks like.It appears that it is using the cutter diam at the tooltip instead of adjusting to the radius on the tool. Unfortunately I can't put a corner radius value in because it consists of multiple radii.Thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

One of the most important things you can do when you create a model is make sure that it can be successfully manufactured. There are so many potential problems with an injection molded piece—incomplete cavity filling, undesirable weld line location, and improper wall thickness.   In PTC Creo 3.0, you can evaluate your model for problems before it ever goes to manufacturing. That means you can FIX the problems, too, saving everyone a ton of money. PTC Creo Mold Analysis is an injection molding simulation application that can verify the part design for manufacturing to avoid molding defects.   In this post, a PTC expert explains how the feature works.   To run an analysis on your part, follow these steps: First, click Applications > Mold Analysis. The Mold Analysis tab opens. Click Mold Analysis > Material Setup. On the Material Setup dialog, select a material from the Material library. If the material is not available in the library, you can modify the properties of

HiNot sure if I've posted in the correct place so my apologies if wrongI've just purchased a little desktop CARVEY 3A CNC machine from Inventables which I intend to use for manufacturing 2 operation prototype plastic parts in the corner of our design studio. I use Creo 2 prismatic machining and I'm looking for a PP that outputs G Code in a format that Inventables Easel software can read in/import. Can anyone help me here?Thanks in advance,BenFYIMachine info here: Carvey®Easel G Code info here: Inventables | Easel G-code SpecThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help.Look at the attached G code (underlined code is the problem and redundant) and tell me why this is, and how to get rid of it.ThanksJon

is there a way to force Creo to climb mill when doing a volume roughing sequence? it seems to go back and forth from conventional and climb when machining.  Also is there a way to keep the tool down in the cut and not have it jump around when cutting?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

When I use the automated chamfering sequence I have a problem. If your chamfer angle doesn't match the tool even by a few minutes or seconds of the chamfer angle it won,t cut the chamfer.When dealing with molds this happens a lot of times for me with drafted surfaces. Here is an example of what I am talking about.the surface circled in blue has a draft on the side wall so the chamfer will not cut it and throws the error message circled in red.I think there needs to be a setable angle tolerance for the chamfer sequence because it is just used to break edges and is not a precise cut by any means. If I want a precise angle chamfer I will surface it with a ball end mill.the work around is to cut it with a trajectory tool path but that is not as easy as just selecting the chamfers with the chamfer sequence.I was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem before I go to tech support?  This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hello,I'm trying to generate a G code in CREO 2.0, but the didn't work. The manufacturing have give me just the number senquence of deslocament, but not the G code of operation.

Our school system just purchased us a Tormach PCNC 1100  Mill and a Slant 15 Lathe.  The controllers for this equipment only accepts G-Code   We're new to PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 (3 years) - We've worked through the Manufacturing design tool to generate an NCL file, but we don't know how to get the G Code necessary to mill the object. I suspect we need a post processor for this mill, but there isn't one listed for our mill in the menu of choices.   Please advise.   Frank Pendzich Wiesbaden HS FIRST Robotics Club FRC3011 - The RoboWarriorsThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

After programming a part, I always make a workshop document to show how to do the work. In some specific cases I have to display the tool path on the document. But sometimes, there is more than one view. Is it possible to choose on which view to display the toolpath ?In fact, it displays by default the tool path on the first view created on the drawing.For example, on the view below I would like to show the tool path on the bottom view. But I created the bottom view after the top view. For the moment as a work around, I can delete the first view, display the toolpath on the bottom view, then create again the top view.

Hello,  I hope you lovely people don’t mind me asking a question. So I would love to engrave a photo on a block of Al, but the problem I’m having at the moment is how to get a vector photo (i don’t know what is the correct name) into Creo (2.0 version). I would love some advice on how to solve this problem. P.S. Sorry for the bad language, English isn’t my first language and I’m only in high school. Cheers from Slovenija.

In a large assembly, from a project that was concluded in manufacturing some time ago. I need to do some changes. The regeneration times are not acceptable for the time I have to do the job.   I pretend to get "dumb solids", get the geometry whithout features. I was able to do this exporting to neutral and reimporting. Doing this I kept: Geometry, anotations, parameters, layers and datums. Nice, the only thing I missed was the associated drawings, I have to redo several hundred of drawings if I choose this way.   Is there any way to clean up model history maintaning drawings?   JoseThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

So older versions of Pro-E you could specify a different color for areas that were removed material. For example I have a casting and that is one color (say purple) but when I make a machining of that casting anywhere I removed material would be a different color (say yellow) so I'd have a purple part with areas of yellow that showed where a machining operation was done.However, I cannot find how to do this in CREO can anyone help?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am learning Creo NC(milling) and have run into an issue. When the following situation occurs, it will omit the "G1" causing the tool to enter the next cut at rapid instead of feed. Not good. It appears to be tied to using the parameter value for "free_feed" to anything other than "0"Here is a code example and more info below it explaining the details.If a new sequence is created where the tool repeats, is using “free_feed = 500” or any value other than zero and follows a previous sequence that posts out a “G0” rapid move, then it does not post out a “G1” with the first linear feed move. It will omit it the “G1” and enter the cut in Rapid. If you set the “free_feed = 0” in the constant load vol mill it will then output the “G1” correctly. This will not resolve the problem because the tool then moves in “G0” rapid during the retract tool motions risking damage to the tool and workpiece. The only solution I have found is to set the post to handle the “G1” as non-modal. This resolves the
