Creo Machining Tutorial
Hi,
I just learned about the creo machining feature and I am curious how to use it. If I have just a regular .prt file where do I start? The NC manufacturing seems to demand a .asm file and not a .prt file to import. I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or reading material.
Thanks!

Andrew,
You are building an assembly. Probably what it wants is you to constrain your part to the manufacturing coordinate system.

Hi Andrew
The first question is, what are you trying to machine, is it turning or milling

I will be doing 3 axis milling, I have a Haas arriving in about a month. I am experimenting with something simple to learn how the creo machining works, I just made a .prt file with a cube, and then a smaller cube protruding from the top of that cube (a very simple part). I figured it would just be good to learn how to do something simple, then try to do my complex parts.
Right now I am have followed the NC-Wizard to insert my part, create stock, and now it wants me to constrain, and I am at a loss of what to do here.
Thanks!

I have never used the NC-wizard and would recomend you use nc manufacturing if you have the option or a 3rd party software( NOT MASTERCAM
) if you have complex parts

The wizard is in Expert machinist. I think ?
I would stay away from Masterscam also. A lot of people use it but I am not a fan.

Alright thanks, I will probably do a trial of one of the cam programs once my mill gets here, but I figured I might as well try to figure creo out, especially since I already own it.

This tutorial will give you all the basics of Pro/manufacturing at a reasonable price.

The e-learning libraries from PTC are a great way to start if you have the time to go through them all. You can access them at your convenience. It is well worth the cost.

Yes, I agree with that, the e-learning libraries are good. But, if you want to go the next level, I recommend books of mine. And in addition, free use of the real tools and machines for simulation and lot of more professional way to work.
