ABOUT THE BOOK

PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 for Engineers Designers textbook introduces the readers to PTC Creo Parametric, a 3D Parametric
CAD software with more power, flexibility, and speed. In addition, PTC Creo Parametric excels in multi-CAD environments and
guarantees upward compatibility of data with earlier Pro/ENGINEER releases. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the latest
techniques in PTC Creo Parametric that can be used to create solid models with ease. This book also covers different techniques used
in surfacing such as style, freestyle, and so on. The chapters are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes this textbook very
effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software.
