import workshops .: Design-Engine Education :. STEP and IGES geometry

Overview: Learn to create digitally correct complex geometries relative to point cloud imports using parametric curves and surfaces inside Pro/ENGINEER. Participants will work with a choice of Pro/CONCEPT, Rhino, Geomagic, Restyle, Alias Surface imports or of various point cloud data. Although this is not a Restyle workshop Restyle can be covered.

Prerequisites: This workshop is only for those derringer or engineers who have taken at least two 16 hr workshops from design engine in the past. Prior import experience is not necessary however this is an advanced class much should be assumed such as participants have a high level of surfacing experience. We suggest either the design engine 1 weeklong product surfacing or the 2 week long airforms workshop workshops as a pre req. to this class.
