Development & Design
Development and design in Creo Parametric
Manufacturing-oriented 3D design for tooling, equipment and assemblies, including bills of materials and clean drawing derivation.
Whether a design works only shows on the shop floor. Do the tolerances fit, are the standard parts available, can the assembly be built and maintained later on? That is what we work towards. What you get are data sets that machining, assembly and maintenance can use straight away.

Development & Design
What the design work covers
3D models & assemblies
Parametric models in Creo Parametric, cleanly structured and easy to modify when the part changes.
Manufacturing-oriented layout
Wall thicknesses, radii, tool run-out, clamping options and accessibility are considered from the start.
Standard & purchased parts
Use of common standard part catalogues so procurement and spare part supply stay simple.
Bills of materials
Structured BOMs with material, semi-finished product and source as a basis for purchasing and costing.
Drawing derivation
Production drawings with dimensions, tolerances, geometric tolerances and surface specifications.
Redesign of existing equipment
Recording, adapting and documenting existing tools and fixtures, even without complete legacy data.
Typical scope
Reference values from current projects. Other requirements are assessed case by case.
- CAD system
- Creo Parametric
- Exchange formats
- STEP, IGES, DXF, PDF
- Part types
- Sheet metal, milled, turned and welded assemblies
- Documentation
- BOM, production drawing, exploded view
- Collaboration
- Remote or on site, in your data standard on request
Project example
For a die base, a complete drawing derivation including exploded view and item numbers was created, starting from grown data without a consistent structure.
- Model structure cleaned up and rebuilt parametrically
- BOM extended with item numbers and materials
- Production drawings derived for machining and assembly
What you receive
- 3D models and assemblies in Creo and as STEP
- Structured bill of materials
- Production drawings as PDF and DXF
- Documented assumptions and open points
