1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
Medical manufacturing, Product Engineer
2. What product & version are you currently running?
Creo 8
3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Sweep an end mill along a 3d curve and properly represent the resultant geometry. I can program it in CNC, but I cannot show it in CAD, nor cad I render or simulate the proper geometry.
4. What is the use case for your organization? we do this all the time.
5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
It should be obvious, we cannot show the proper part geometry across the platform. We cannot simulate it, render it, or describe in cad model. But i can create the physical item via cnc. If I can make it on a machine I should be able to show it in CAD.
As stated earlier, PTC's Paul Sagar showed this prior to Creo 4.0 release at a PTC event. All the major CAD players in the industry have this functionality and have for over 10 Years. This should be basic functionality for modern cad, especially given what we pay for this software now. Our cost have gone up exponentially with little to no basic updates.
