Creo NC Overview

The Creo NC Help describes the logical sequence of tasks to progress from a design model to NC machine data. Creo NC creates the data necessary to drive an NC machine tool to machine a part. Refer to these topics for information on using the NC user interface, on configuring Creo Parametric for NC, and on performing manufacturing tasks.
