I can't wait to see what the next big thing is in 3D printing. I look forward to a 3D printer that's as easy to install maintain as today's 2D printers.

TD166 - Model Tree Tricks for Large Assembly Management

The model tree has been ubiquitous in Creo Parametric for nearly twenty years. For assemblies especially, and large assemblies, in particular, it’s been an invaluable tool for interrogating troublesome areas and correcting them. This session will cover not only the simple everyday applications, such as using columns and filters to isolate areas, but also some out-of-the-box uses of the model tree like editing parameter information, exporting it to another format, and applying Excel finesse. Attendees will leave with a number of new tricks for how to better handle their large assemblies.

DEC29B - The Worst Assembly in the World

In a comical approach to an all-too-common issue, the presenter will explore and employ a number of bad modeling practices in a never-ending effort to increase the retrieval time of his Creo Parametric master assembly. Through overuse of assembly cuts, level ten shrink wraps and other excessive modeling practices, attendees will see his retrieval time balloon out to thoroughly unusable levels. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have either a list of ways to increase their own retrieval times, or perhaps more usefully, a list of bad practices to avoid and discourage.
