Delcam launches PowerShape Pro CAD for CAM

Delcam has unveiled the 2015 version of its PowerShape Pro CAD for CAM system. The latest release includes improvements to direct modelling, surface modelling and reverse engineering.

The enhancements in direct modelling build on the introduction of the 'Smart Feature Manager' in recent releases. Smart Feature Manager allows users to identify all the features, such as fillets, slots and bosses within a solid in a single operation, and so makes the analysis of the imported data easier and faster. PowerShape Pro's surface modelling capabilities have been improved with dynamic point editing. Multiple points, either along a single curve or picked from multiple curves, can now be selected and moved, with real-time updating of the model. Finally, the main enhancement to PowerShape Pro's reverse engineering functionality is a more automated method for capturing cross-sections through a mesh.
