This session will cover how data is moved and shared from PDMLink, to ProjectLink, out to your supply chain and back again. This process has some options we’ll explore including: security and permissions, checkout/in and who “owns” the data, and what sort of tools are available for you to track the data and receive timely feedback.

Interested in programming your lathes just like you do your mills? Attend this overview presentation about the basics of programming turning operations using Creo NC Solutions. We will discuss basic setup issues and go through the most common operations. We will follow this with a few useful tips such as programming using only a DXF file and maybe even touch on mill/turn operations with live tooling. A PowerPoint overview will start us off, followed by a live demonstration and finally a question-and-answer session open to all attendees. [Customers with Active Maintenance]

Is your shop expanding its capabilities to include multi-axis machining? This session will provide an overview of the enormous capability of Creo Parametric NC Solutions to provide 4- and 5-axis milling sequences. We will explore the various types of sequences available and the numerous options for controlling the tool vectors. We will also discuss available tutorials for follow-on study.
