Before joining Rand Worldwide, Natasha served as a mechanic in the U.S. She trains end-users with all skill levels on Creo Parametric and CATIA, and she collaborates closely with the company’s technical writers on courseware development. Technical Training EngineerNatasha joined the company in 2000 and has extensive experience sharing her CAD expertise through delivering webcasts, contributing to blog posts, and leading training classes. Upon completion of the feature, this shape tool will remove material where it interests the part along its trajectory.Īdditional information about the other Creo feature form options in the Model tab can be found in our I ntroduction to Solid Modeling and Advanced Part Design courses.
You can drag the 3D cutting tool visualization along the sweep trajectory to visualize and understand the feature’s movement and orientation. From the Volume Helical Sweep tab, you can turn on the display of the sweep frame and revolve cut. Angular adjustment of the grinding wheel can be entered for rotation around the X- and Z- axes.
In this case the cutting tool is represented by an axis-asymmetric shape defined by a revolved section. An example use scenario is the grinding wheel where the sweep is performed along a helical curve. The benefit of the new Volume Helical Sweep tool is that you can accurately model geometry that results from cutting tools used in manufacturing operations. Notably, the section that defines the cutting tool may only contain lines and arcs creating a convex shape. To start the creation of the feature, expand the Sweep option in the Model tab as shown.įrom the Volume Helical Sweep dashboard, you can define and control the parameters of the helical trajectory.Īlso, you can select, create, or edit the 2D section that defines the cutting tool, and control the feature dimensions. The Volume Helical Sweep feature only provides geometric operations to remove material. The Volume Helical Sweep form enables you to create an accurate three-dimensional geometric representation for parts that are machined with cutting tools.
