Sheet Metal Manufacturing

Improve your sheet metal manufacturing operations. Sheet metal is among the most common of construction materials because it's strong, robust, lightweight and has a relatively low cost. Sheet metal design is the process of defining geometry such that sheetmetal can be cut, bent, or punched to meet product requirements. Whatever the industry, the sheet metal designer has the same concerns: reducing scrap, controlling cost, enhancing the ease of manufacturing, and getting the best product to market faster. Don't accept anything less than purpose-built capabilities for sheet metal design; ones that take into account the unique characteristics and requirements of sheet metal.

Progressive Die Extension

Progressive Die Extension (PDX) provides guidance to walk you through automatic strip layout definition, cut stamp creation and placement/modification of die components. Eliminate error-prone manual tasks by automatically creating clearance cuts, drilled holes and documentation. Use the commands on the PDX menu to create article references to sheetmetal parts, build a strip, create a tool assembly, draw a new die, create equipment or parts, run functional analyses, and more.

NC Sheet Metal Extension

NC Sheet Metal Extension resolves manufacturing problems on the factory floor. It was made to helps increase productivity by automatically creating and optimizing toolpaths. Use smart auto-nesting to utilize maximum sheet area, reduce scrap and material costs, and shorten lead times. With Creo Sheetmetal, you’ll easily and quickly create walls, bends, punches, notches, flanges and more. You can bend, flatten, cut, and pattern parts in a way that’s appropriate for manufacturing—all before you create a single physical prototype. Put Creo Sheetmetal to work for you.

Computer Aided Verification (CAV)

Computer Aided Verification (CAV) delivers a straightforward, economical and precise solution. The software allows for digital inspections of machined parts and assemblies for quality assurance purposes, and supports both CMM (coordinate measuring machines) machines and laser scanners. Gain absolute confidence in the QA process by performing digital inspections of machined parts and assemblies.
