Introduction
Target Design
Design Processes

The tutorial is designed to guide users of Pro/DESKTOP through advanced CAD techniques by completing a Focused Practical Task.
   
     
    The Focused Practical Task explains how to create the Target Design of a steam iron. The tutorial provides the 2D geometry to construct the design and describes the following processes.
     
    · Loft Through Profiles
· Extrude Profile
· Round Edges
· Extrude Profile (subtract material)
· Sweep Profile Along Sketch Path
· Extrude Profile Symmetrically
 
 
 
 
Focused Practical Task
On completion of this tutorial the user should be empowered to use their Pro/DESKTOP skills to explore their own creativity and develop individual variations of the steam iron design design.
   
    The final section in this tutorial invites the learner to use the redefine option of Pro/DESKTOP to enhance the original proposal. The redefine option is a powerful creative tool and allows the designer to alter aspects of the solid model to make it more functionally efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
     
    The tutorials are designed to assist the teacher and student to satisfy the National Curriculum requirement for CAD/CAM and use this exciting technology as a creative design tool.
