Delcam's PowerSolution

Delcam's Power Solution range of design, manufacturing and inspection software provides complete, automated CADCAM solutions, to take complex-shaped products from concept to reality. The software is all based on Delcam’s own kernel, which incorporates unique, optimised mathematical methods for ease of use, control and flexibility throughout the product development cycle. Complementary systems for data translation and task management aid control and communication throughout the product development process, both within a company and along the supply chain.

The Power Solution allows users to boost productivity, improve quality and reduce lead times, and so increase profitability at every stage, from the creation of a concept design through to the manufacture and inspection of prototypes, tooling and sample components. As well as being both flexible and powerful, the software is also easy to learn, so cutting the time needed to gain maximum benefit from any investment. The high degree of automation at all stages speeds up routine operations, increases accuracy by reducing the possibility of mistakes, and leaves more time for creative and skilled work.

PowerSHAPE provides a complete solution for both product design and toolmakers. Whereas designers are primarily concerned with the design of a finished product, often ignoring the features required for manufacturing, mold and toolmakers require a complete model. For instance, some designers rarely fillet the sharp edges of a model or produce the necessary draft and split surfaces. These time consuming and expensive operations are often left to the toolmaker to produce. With PowerSHAPE all these are made easy, while PowerSHAPE's powerful geometry creation tools ensure that the initial design can be completed quickly and efficiently.

PowerMILL is Delcam's core 3, 4 and 5 Axis milling product, a stand alone CAM system that produces NC toolpaths from CAD models quickly. PowerMILL can accept data from any CAD system, via IGES, VDA, STL or a variety of direct interfaces. It is extremely powerful, yet easy to use, and generates roughing and finishing toolpaths which optimise the productivity of CNC machine tools, while ensuring the highest quality machining of models and tooling.

PowerINSPECT from Delcam delivers rapid inspection of complex parts and tools by comparing the manufactured item with the 3D CAD model. The speed of PowerINSPECT reduces inspection down time, minimising disruption to your production schedule.

CopyCAD is a complete point data manipulation solution, enabling engineers to quickly and accurately bridge the gap between the physical and digital world. CopyCAD is quick, simple and interactive, offering even casual users the power to quickly solve engineering problems, from copy milling to feeding free form organic surfaces into the design process.

ArtCAM is a unique software program for 3D modelling and CNC machining, which allows you to create high quality products from 2D artwork.

PS-Exchange is a unique CAD data translator and interoperability solution that can give you large savings on your data translation cost and time.

PS-Team is Delcam's web based task management and team collaboration software. It provides a system which keeps a record of the vast amount of communication that flows around a company, allowing tasks to be assigned and documents and e-mails to be attached. It eliminates the possibility of deleting or mislaying vital information stored in documents or e-mails as no entry can be deleted once it has been entered.
