Delcam to Show Complete Product Development at Southern Manufacturing
Delcam will demonstrate its complete range of product development software at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition to be held at Thorpe Park on 8th and 9th February. On its section of the GTMA stand, the company's experts will demonstrate how its Power Solution CADCAM systems can help manufacturers to develop more sophisticated designs more quickly and to a higher quality.
Delcam's Power Solution allows users to boost productivity, improve quality and reduce lead times, and so increase profitability at every stage, from the creation of a concept design through to the manufacture and inspection of prototypes, tooling and sample components. The high degree of automation at all stages speeds up routine operations, increases accuracy by reducing the possibility of mistakes, and leaves more time for creative and skilled work.
Delcam is unique among CADCAM suppliers in offering its software either as a complete solution, including customization to meet specific requirements with templates, macros and Visual Basic programming, or as a series of best-in-class stand-alone products. The company can provide a comprehensive design through manufacture system for companies that are new to CADCAM or that are looking to replace old or obsolete software. Alternatively, Delcam can also supply individual programs for companies looking to increase the performance of their existing system or to remove bottlenecks in their design and manufacturing processes.
At southern Manufacturing, Delcam will give particular attention to its patented Total Modelling approach to product design and to its PowerMILL CAM system. Total Modelling allows logos, textures and other decorations to be incorporated into standard designs more readily to help reinforce branding of products. Modification of complex designs is much faster and easier, making it possible to create a greater selection of alternatives when presenting proposals for new designs. Similarly, updating existing designs, for example, when producing a modified toy for a new marketing promotion, can be undertaken more quickly.
Key enhancements in the latest release of PowerMILL include a new 2D Machining Wizard that enables quicker and easier generation of 2D and 2½D toolpaths, new drilling templates for faster creation of drilling routines, improved machining of flat areas, new plunge milling options, and more versatile swarf machining methods.
