Free PowerSHAPE download offered by Delcam

1 min read

Potential users of Delcam’s PowerSHAPE CAD software can now download a free evaluation version, PowerSHAPE-e from the company’s website (click supplier name, right).

PowerSHAPE-e includes all the surface and solid modelling tools from the latest PowerSHAPE release but not the PS-Electrode and PS-Moldmaker modules for toolmaking. It also includes a set of tutorials showing how to use the software for product design and decoration. Unlike most other free evaluation versions, the software can save part-completed models, so enabling longer projects to be undertaken in a series of sessions, and can also save an unlimited number of subsequent changes to the design. PowerSHAPE-e also includes a selection of 3D clip art so that users can experiment with Delcam’s patented Total Modelling approach to design. Total Modelling allows textures, logos and other decorations to be added to CAD models more quickly and more flexibly than any other design technique. It provides the fastest method for the early “What if?” stage of concept design, allowing a far greater number of alternative proposals to be created and compared in a much shorter time.
