PowerSHAPE developments PowerSHAPE and Parasolid Tribrid Modelling CopyCAD integration

If PowerSHAPE was a car, which part would be Parasolid? The Engine What is Parasolid?

Parasolid provides… Library of 3D modelling and editing functions Import, export and storage of Parasolid data Delcam provides… Feature history tree GUI Everything else! Parasolid for solids

Surface modelling PowerSHAPE retains all of its surface modelling Ensures that any design can be created Essential for modelling for manufacture

What are the key benefits of Parasolid? Interoperability Parasolid allows direct import/export of Parasolid data without translation Why is this important? Parasolid benefits

Question: How many end users are using Parasolid based applications? A Under 100,000 B Under 1 million C Over 2 million Source: wp W 3_tcm pdfhttp:// wp W 3_tcm pdf Parasolid benefits

Question: What proportion of 3D CAD models use Parasolid? A Under 20% B Under 40% C Over 40% Source: wp W 3_tcm pdfhttp:// wp W 3_tcm pdf Parasolid benefits

Interoperability Combining PowerSHAPE’s flexibility with speed and robustness of Parasolid was always key Automatic fixing when creating solids from surfaces Intelligent and invisible, many common issues are fixed Solid Doctor Advanced automatic fixes Powerful surface editing mode – fix anything Parasolid benefits

Performance Solid modelling operations up to 5x faster Very fast import/export of Parasolid data (no conversion) Smaller model sizes Reliability Parasolid is an industry standard 1.5 million tests run on every code change Higher quality solid modelling operations Higher quality hidden line and section drawing views 1 Source: wp W 3_tcm pdfhttp:// wp W 3_tcm pdf Parasolid benefits

Advanced filleting Faster, more robust Deals with more complex conditions Parasolid benefits

All Parasolid benefits apply to Delcam Toolmaker –Faster, more robust solid modelling operations –Faster Power Features –Higher quality drawings All standard catalogues rebuilt as native Parasolid Toolmaker will continue to benefit from PowerSHAPE development Delcam Toolmaker

What is Tribrid Modelling? Tribrid Modelling

Solids + Surfaces + Triangles Tribrid Modelling

Unique Delcam technology All types of data in one model so less data transfer Boolean operations between solids, surfaces and triangles More flexible for design changes Fully supported by Delcam’s downstream software

Reverse Engineering CopyCAD Pro’s Re-Engineering tools are now in PowerSHAPE Pro These capture the design intent of a part, not just geometry. This is especially beneficial when the part to be copied is damaged or worn, or when a design change is needed. PowerSHAPE Pro can now be the RE front end for any Parasolid-based CAD system

Conclusions Addition of Parasolid to PowerSHAPE has increased capability and reliability of solid modelling Use of combined technology makes Solid Doctor more powerful for data transfer Users still benefit from all Delcam’s surface modelling technology Tribrid Modelling remains a unique combination of solids, surfaces and triangles Addition of CopyCAD functionality gives cost- effective reverse engineering
