The Design Engine Pro/SURFACE courses are custom tailored to meet specific student requirements. Some of the tutorials are designed from existing solid geometry with to illustrate using Pro/SURFACE as a secondary option to model the desired shape. Other tutorials were designed using surfaces and curves from the beginning, such as the fender tutorial. Many of the advanced tutorials challenge by presenting strange surface anomalies which require implementing unique solutions using tips and techniques.    

Notice the new ISDX tutorials and descriptions. For an explanation of PTC's new ISDX surfacing module or more about our ISDX workshops, read more HERE. These new surfacing tools are genuinely a large step for the future of surface modeling.

Our training is unique in that the instruction is non-intimidating.  For example, the instructor may work backwards through features so the student can see the completed part ahead of time.  Working backwards or stepping through the features also helps iterate using repetition. After watching the instructor work backwards and forwards through the features of a tutorial model, students are given a chance to create the model with the instructor near.

Below are some of the tutorials students may complete during the (Level 'One' to Level 'Seven') surfacing workshops.  Many of the courses are administered on weekends to accommodate consultants and contractors with busy weekday work schedules

Stretch Detail Tutorial
This is our introduction to surfacing. Observing how light reflects off surfaces helps one to move quickly into an advanced position using surfaces faster.


First hour of a Pro/SURFACE level one showing drag handles for stretching a surface.

Hood Tutorial
This model uses both projected curves and curves thru points. By using forms of curves we are able to manipulate the cutout to be either above or below the larger surface and the model will regenerate every time.

Handle Detail Tutorial
This model is a good example for faucets or door pulls for many manufactururers. This model discusses the pros and cons for ISDX vs Pro/SURAFCE. Adding draft to the surface geometry and controling striation of a surface..


The red handle helps adjust the striation or the precise UV functions of the surface.

Fender Tutorial
By using Pro/Surface you can get a robust model that is flexible. By using a skeleton frame and bounding curves we are able tomodel the form shown above.

Call to talk about any of the techniques or to learn more how surfacing can help your group get projects completed. 312.226.8339

Be sure to bring a ZIP DISK of previous problematic models. The last four hours of each 16 hr workshop is usually dedicated to previous problem modeling issues. We offer both quick fixes and suggest better and more robust alternatives for part construction.   The instructor can show the "five minute fix" and the "two hour way you should have modeled it" versus what took much longer and may have compromised design timeline. Unless a user has experienced modeling the specific shape, hindsight is always 20/20.
