Software reduces costs and time to market
Delcam's Power Solution software is helping Italian composites manufacturer, Plyform, to reduce its costs and its time to market.
Dental services improved with software
Delcam's Power Solution software enabled Hull-based InterLab to offer a comprehensive technological service for its parent company WHW, a leading UK dental and medical manufacturer.
It includes the PowerSHAPE CAD system, PowerMILL for the generation of machining data, CopyCAD for reverse engineering, and PowerINSPECT for inspection.
Together these programs provide a complete solution to companies looking to increase productivity, improve quality and reduce lead times.
They are already used by more than 8,000 companies in over 70 countries.
PowerSHAPE's hybrid modelling combines the best of solid and surface modelling to give the flexibility needed when developing the complex shapes now used in the casting industry.
Its intelligent cursor, coupled with a Microsoft-style interface, makes it easy to learn and quick to use, while the interactive surface editing tools make it one of the most powerful and versatile modellers on the market.
PowerMILL provides fast and reliable generation of toolpaths for the machining of either patterns or dies.
The software supports a wide range of machining strategies, including options for high-speed machining and five-axis machining, and also offers flexible toolpath editing, and integrated toolpath verification and post-processing.
Together these features allow more accurate tooling to be made and so enable more accurate parts to be produced.
This keeps costs down by minimising the amount of machining needed on the castings and by ensuring that the consistency is high enough to allow these operations to be automated.
CopyCAD provides a comprehensive toolkit that can be used for a wide range of reverse engineering applications, including the production of CAD models from physical samples and the repair of worn or damaged tooling.
It gives the user maximum control and flexibility when generating surfaces from digitised data.
PowerINSPECT offers fast, real-time quality control, allowing detailed reports to be produced in minutes from a wide range of inspection equipment, including static CMMs, portable inspection arms and optical devices.
The speed of the software allows inspection throughout prototyping and manufacturing.
This means that problems can be detected earlier and corrected at lower cost. Request a free brochure from Delcam ...
