From 2D Sketching to Industry-Standard Product Design

Mechanical design today is no longer limited to manual drawings or basic 2D tools. Industries demand engineers who can think in 3D, follow ISO-standard design procedures, and convert ideas into manufacturable products. This is exactly where Creo Parametric (PTC) plays a critical role, and at ABC Trainings India, this software is taught in a deeply practical, step-by-step, industry-oriented manner.

This blog is a complete overview of Creo Parametric Mechanical Design Engineering training at ABC Trainings, strictly based on the official training content and session structure followed by our expert mechanical design engineers .

Introduction to Creo Parametric at ABC Trainings

Creo Parametric is a robust and versatile CAD software suite developed by PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation). It is widely used for Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), 3D Modelling, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

At ABC Trainings India, Creo Parametric is taught as a complete mechanical design solution, not just as software commands. The training is delivered with a strong focus on design intent, ISO-standard workflows, and real-world engineering practices. ABC Trainings India is also an official brand partner of PTC and provides MSME and ISO-certified training, which adds significant value to a student’s professional profile.

One of the biggest strengths of ABC Trainings is its one-on-one personal teaching approach, ensuring that every student clearly understands each concept before moving to the next session.

Training Methodology Followed at ABC Trainings

At ABC Trainings, Creo Parametric training follows a structured ISO design procedure, ensuring students learn mechanical design in the same sequence followed in real industries.

The complete learning journey includes:

• Strong foundation in 2D sketching

• Conversion of sketches into solid 3D models

• Assembly of multiple components

• Sheet metal design with proper thickness control

• Surface design for zero or negligible thickness models

• Drafting with complete GD&T and views

• Rendering as per industrial standards

Each module is taught only after the previous one is fully understood and practiced.

Session 1: Understanding Design Intent in Creo Parametric

Design intent refers to the strategic planning and decision-making process while creating a CAD model so that it behaves predictably when modifications are made.

Key principles of design intent taught at ABC Trainings include:

1. Parametric design

2. Constraints and relations

3. Feature-based modeling

4. Modularity

5. Associativity

6. Robustness

Students are trained to think like design engineers, not just software operators. This approach ensures models remain stable and editable even after multiple design changes.

Creo Parametric Interface and System Requirements

Students are first introduced to the Creo Parametric interface, including:

• Menu bar

• Current application toolbar

• Application toolbar

• View toolbar

• File toolbar

• Insert toolbar (where most commands are located)

System Requirements Used in Training:

• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

• Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD equivalent

• RAM: Minimum 8 GB

• Graphics Card: Nvidia with at least 2 GB

• Storage: Minimum 20 GB free space

ABC Trainings provides highly specialized labs with 24/7 internet access and all required amenities so students can practice without limitations.

Module 1: Sketcher (2D Design Foundation)

Sketcher is the backbone of any mechanical CAD design. It focuses on 2D drawings and orthographic projections, which later form the basis of 3D models.

At ABC Trainings, students learn Sketcher in complete depth, covering:

Profile Creation Process:

1. Starting a new sketch

2. Drawing basic shapes

3. Applying constraints

4. Modifying profiles

Toolbars Covered:

• Profile Toolbar (Profile, Circle, Line, Spline, Axis, Point, Conic)

• Operation Toolbar (Corner with radius, Chamfer types, Transform tools like mirror, rotate, scale, offset)

• Constraint Toolbar

Important Constraints Taught:

• Distance, Length, Angle

• Radius and Diameter

• Symmetry and Midpoint

• Fix and Coincidence

• Concentricity and Tangency

• Parallel, Perpendicular, Vertical, Horizontal

Students learn all 17 essential constraints and understand how dimensional constraints take priority over geometrical ones.

Module 2: Part Design (3D Solid Modelling)

In Part Design, students convert their 2D sketches into solid 3D models by adding depth, material, and thickness.

Dashboards Covered:

1. Shapes Dashboard

2. Engineering Dashboard

3. Editing Dashboard

4. Datum Dashboard

Key Commands:

• Extrude

• Revolve

• Sweep and Helical Sweep

• Hole, Round, Chamfer

• Draft, Shell, Rib

• Pattern and Mirror

This module focuses on building accurate, manufacturable 3D components following industrial practices.

Module 3: Assembly Design

Assembly design teaches students how to combine multiple part models into a complete product.

Key learning points include:

• Component Dashboard

• Assembly constraints

• Positioning parts accurately

• Assembling solid, sheet metal, and surface models

This module builds an understanding of how real mechanical products are structured and assembled in industries.

Module 4: Sheet Metal Design

Sheet metal design is a critical skill for mechanical engineers working in manufacturing industries.

At ABC Trainings, students learn:

• Conversion of 2D sketches into sheet metal models

• Thickness specification up to 9 mm

• Bend radius control

Dashboards Used:

• Shapes Dashboard

• Engineering Dashboard

• Bends Dashboard

• Editing Dashboard

Important Commands:

• Planar and Flat

• Flange

• Extrude

• Rip and Form

• Unbend, Bend, Bend Back

• Flat Pattern and Split Area

Students practice real-world sheet metal components used in fabrication industries.

Module 5: Surface Design (Surfacing)

Surface design focuses on models with zero or negligible thickness, commonly used in automotive and complex product designs.

Students learn how to:

• Create complex free-form surfaces

• Understand continuity and surface quality

• Integrate surface models with solid models

This module enhances advanced modeling skills and design flexibility.

Module 6: Drafting and GD&T

Drafting is where designs are converted into manufacturing-ready drawings.

Students learn:

• Front, Top, Side, Back views

• Section views and detailed views

• Complete GD&T tools

• ISO-standard drawing practices

This module ensures students can communicate designs clearly to manufacturing teams.
