The design procedure of the Main Axle of a skateboard done with CREO Parametric goes as follows: STEP 1. Create a new Part and rename it Main Axle STEP 2. Create 2 new datum planes with an offset of 65mm from the Front Plane on each side. STEP 3. On Front Plane Create the following... Continue Reading →

The plate design for wheels of a Skateboard done in CREO parametric goes as follows: STEP 1. Create a New part and rename it WheelsPlate STEP 2. Click on Extrude icon and use the Sketch option from far upper right in Extrude window to create a center rectangle of 55x80 on the Top Plane and... Continue Reading →

This is Part 1 of the design work for Skatebord product. As usual I start this work by designing each component and later I will generate the final product assembly. The first component is the BOARD. STEP 1. Create a new part and rename it "Board" STEP 2. In Model Workbench click on Sweep icon... Continue Reading →

Working with CAD software to create new products is a huge improvement in the modern design process versus the old times when the work had to be done simply by hand. The posibilities to do mechanical design today are way much better. A new product can be created with any of these CAD platforms available... Continue Reading →

There are many objects which are commercially succesful if their design make them look attractive. Such example of products are those made by Apple. They use a lot of Freestyle design and one example here is the already well known Wireless Earbud. In this post I am showing you how this product can be designed... Continue Reading →

In manufacturing is often the case that parts are metalic and have a specific constant thinkness. In CAD of course no problem to design such a part but the work is much faster and effective is you don't design these parts using the standard way of doing it as Solid component but instead you do...

Depending on the project complexity the CAD work regarldless the CAD platform can be done in different apporaches. You can create a part completelly from skratch OR you can reuse some data already defined that can be reused for different other component parts of the project (for example to use data from a skeleton sketch...

Designing Helical Shapes such are Springs with variable pitches sometimes is a challenge, mainly for the beginners. But things are very simple to do & control, CREO Parametric is an excellent tool for that and in this post I will show you how to do such design work. Step 1. Create New Part I click...

CREO Parametric it is indeed very Parametric CAD platform. Designing with CREO is super effective, it´s a pleasure to work with it, I love this software. It´s powerful, it´s fun, it´s user friendly and you can use it in any type of mechanical design projects. In this post I want to show you an example... Continue Reading →

A very frequent type of feature used in mechanical design development is the Revolved feature. There are many common working approaches with the Extruded part but as we are dealing with a different shape in this post I will show you how specifiaclly a Revolved part is created with CREO Parametric 6.0. STEP 1: As... Continue Reading →
