3D Spanner Design Tutorial Using CREO PTC
Creating a 3D spanner design using PTC Creo is a great way to get hands-on experience with this powerful CAD software. Here's a brief overview of the steps you might follow:

Create a New Part: Start by creating a new part file and setting up the orientation and units.

Sketch the Spanner Profile: Draw the profile of the spanner on the front plane. This usually involves drawing the outline of the spanner head and the handle.

Extrude the Sketch: Use the extrude tool to give the spanner profile a 3D shape by adding depth.

Add Details: Use tools like fillet, chamfer, and hole to add details such as rounded edges, chamfers, and holes for the bolt heads.

Revolve Features: If the spanner has symmetrical features, use the revolve tool to create these features around an axis.

Finalize the Design: Make any final adjustments to the design, check for errors, and ensure all dimensions are correct.
