New PowerSHAPE options make Total Modelling more accessible
The latest version of Delcam"s PowerSHAPE CAD system has made its unique Total Modelling functionality much easier to use. Other enhancements within PowerSHAPE 6 include new toolbars for the software"s analysis and model repair functionality, and the ability to use the morphing technology to add draft to models.
Total Modelling is Delcam"s unique method for adding logos, textures and other decoration to CAD models. It enables triangle models, including those generated within the ArtCAM engraving program and the CopyCAD reverse engineering system, to be incorporated into surface or solid models created in PowerSHAPE.
The latest release includes a new Wizard to both speed and simplify the process. This allows the user to determine the exact position and orientation of the wrapped decoration, and then adjust its size and aspect ratio to give the required effect. A preview mode illustrates the final effect before the full calculation is undertaken.
