Authors: Kari Karwedsky, PTC, and Colm Prendergast, Analog Devices Inc & Mentor for FRC Team 1965   Many FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotics Competition teams now have access to a 3D printer thanks to the generous donations of suppliers, but now what do you do with it?  To get started, it’s probably a good idea to just tinker with it making something like a pencil cup to get a feel for how the printer works.  But after that, how do you decide what makes sense to print for your robot?  In this blog series we’ll review a robot design (by FRC Team 1965) that has several components that were 3D printed. This robot was specifically built to test the capabilities of 3D printing techniques. We will then walk through the 3D printing workflow used. We will discuss guidelines for deciding which parts might be good parts to consider 3D printing for your robot. Along the way we’ll provide several tips and tricks that may make it easier for you to get started with your 3

hi,i'm currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in aeronautics ,i started using creo since last semester as my professor said its a  a very good software,recently i upgraded from  creo 2.0 to 3.0 but whenever i tried to open creo parametric but it displays a error code 0x0000000b can someone please figure it out ..

I changed my wireless card from an n to an ac card. The software did not work when I did this. I changed the card back again to the n card and the software worked so the card change is the cause of your software not working. I don't want to use the n card on the computer anymore can I use another licence on my computer so I can use the ac card?

Hi,I create a thing in ThingWorx Composer, and try to bind remote properties with the thing properties; it works fine when there are 300 properties,but then it's more than 400, error reports:"Error：Unable to bind things: error to trying to process message: context cannot accept multipart messages bindrequestmessage"Does anybody know why this happen? Is there any limitation for the number of properties bound to remote thing?Thanks,

Hi Fokswhen trying to export this design as stl. its coming up 'Unable to triangulate highlighted surfsce. Aborting output'now this part has just been extruded and shelled, so what am I doing wrong?any help appreciatedJeremy

I have a sad tale to tell which may or may not befall others therefore I share it with you and hope someone can provide an answer.  Last week my old faithful AMD FirePro V4900 failed due to overheating because the fan failed. Finding out that is what had caused my m/c to crash turned out to be a detective story in its own right so no more on that.   Got a new card same make same model(?) installed it and configured with the latest drivers for same only to find PTC CREO 2.0 was very unstable and crashed the m/c.  AMD concluded a faulty card.  New card arrived installed and configured only to be presented by the same problem.  Eventually got it to behave by changing the graphics option in the config file to 'd3d'.  Works a charm, fast and stable, and all is hunkidory.  Check with Tim and find that, in CREO 3.0, Direct3D is not supported. What am I to do?  Upgrade or not upgrade that is the question. I think have another glass of Malt Scotch an

When I run creo 3.0 parametric, it comes up but along with a message display expressing the different viruses and problems it detected. It says the problems have been resolved, but it will not let me use creo and the program freezes. I cannot click anything besides the error message and have to end the tasks of the program. How do you get around virus protection so I can begin to use the software program?

‌Hi, we have drawn a design for a stool, it starts as a truncated cone Upside down,  we cannot seem to turn the 3D part into a sheet material version to create a flat pattern.  Needed so we can construct it from Bendy Ply.  Does anyone know of any tutorials of demos around similar work?

Hey there. I have one problem with my creo parametric 2.0 and have sent some requests to ptc academic support. Since no one there is responding, I guess there must be some people in the community who would like to help me out ^^I was doing my homework and have to use Creo Parametric 2.0. When I opened it, there was a warning window and said that "License request failed for feature"got a nice pic hereseems like my license has expired. It was a license for student and last for one year i guess.So, can I extend my license somewhere or what can i do so that i could go on doing with my homework?Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

I need help guys. I am a new baby to Mathcad and was trying to solve equations using solve block but each time I do, I get error message. Can anyone tell how to do it?

Like the title says,  I am working through the training guide but was not given the files that all of the exercises refer to. If there is any way to get these, please let me know! I would very much appreciate it.Thanks

I am a Technical writer and am new to this tool-I need to find out how to use ISOdraw with windchill. I have worked through the tutorials which are included with the program but they did not help with importing and exporting.

Has anyone else been told by customer service that a script error in the Learning Connector is caused by Internet Explorer 9.0?Twice now, a Java update has causes errors with the online help part of the Learning Connector. This is a fairly recent occurrence but very persistent. The 1st time I contacted CS and when they connected to my computer it magically fixed itself (something to do with remote desktop... or something else not disclosed)... anyway, a few days later, another Java update installed and the problem exists again.This morning I get awoken to tell me that this is an IE9 issue and I need to downgrade to IE8 (This is a factory install of IE9 on Win7)...Last time I tried downgrading IE I lost a bunch of functionality. It basically toasted my entire OS (Windows XP IIRC).Is PTC really that far behind their programming efforts that they cannot even keep up with browser updates? Is their XML programming really that fragile? This just reflects very poorly on the fit and finish of
