About Manufacturing Process Planning for MFG
Manufacturing Process Planning for MFG is a stand-alone Creo Parametric module that defines the part machining process steps, material removal, fixtures, and parameter information.
The Manufacturing Process Planning for MFG part machining process consists of two distinct phases:
1. The process planner defines the process flow of machining.
2. The user details and finalizes the process plan.
After these two steps have been sufficiently defined, the manufacturing engineer, or an NC programmer, creates the NC tool path for actual material removal. The goal of Manufacturing Process Planning for MFG is to create a process plan with as much detail as desired, document this process, and then use it to create a manufacturing tool path.
