The 2013 release of Delcam’s PowerSHAPE CAD system includes enhancements to its direct modelling and reverse engineering capabilities that will make the software both more flexible and even easier to use. In addition, the solid and surface modelling options have been made faster and even more robust.
PowerSHAPE provides the most comprehensive range of modelling techniques available in a single CAD program. Having all the different technologies in the same package reduces the need to transfer data between multiple programs and so streamlines the whole product development process. The broad range of functionality makes PowerSHAPE ideal for the re-engineering of existing products into improved designs or for creating specialised items. At the same time, the combination of quick and easy direct modelling options, together with powerful and flexible surface modelling, makes PowerSHAPE the perfect choice for design for manufacture, especially when converting product designs into tooling designs.
The most important new option in PowerSHAPE’s direct modelling functionality is “Replace Face”. This allows a selected face or group of faces to be replaced with another face or group of faces, either from the same solid or from a separate solid or surface model.
In its most basic form, “Replace Face” can be used for offsetting surfaces of the model to provide machining allowances or clearances for electrodes for EDM. It can also be used for more complex modifications to product designs. In all cases, any other faces within the design that are affected by the change are extended and re-trimmed as necessary to maintain a closed solid.
A second new option that will be of particular interest to tooling designers will be the “Solid Core” command. This selects automatically the smallest rectangular or cylindrical shape that will fully enclose a group of solid faces. It can be used to create blanks for the manufacture of electrodes or when modelling slides within moulds to accommodate undercuts. The shapes can be selected from spreadsheets, for example one showing different standard sizes for electrode blanks, that can be edited to each company’s specifications.
The main improvement to the existing direct modelling tools has been a simplification of the selection and editing of faces. Groups of faces can now be selected by surrounding them with a boundary, either by dragging the mouse or by clicking a series of points. Simpler methods have been added to then rotate the selected faces around a point or a cylinder, or to move them along a line.
For reverse engineering, PowerSHAPE now allows point-cloud data to be captured directly. Point data can be displayed on-screen instantly as a laser attachment is passed over the object being scanned. This ensures that all the required information can be captured as any gaps in the data will be apparent immediately.
Another new option in PowerSHAPE 2013 is the ability to perform 2D nesting of 2D profiles or 3D parts. Once the numbers of each component required and the minimum spacing needed between each item has been specified, PowerSHAPE calculates the most efficient layout using the minimum amount of material. The shape of any unused material can be saved so that it can be used for later projects. The nesting option will be important for any company using sheet materials, including those in the press tool, composites and footwear industries, or for laying out multiple 3D parts for effective machining.
