Pro/Engineer PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 for Engineers and Designers

Description

PTC Creo Parametric 3.0 for Engineers and 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.
