The use of composite materials is rapidly growing in both the automotive and aerospace industries as designers strive to produce the lightest possible design while retaining optimal strength. Delcam's Power Solution provides producers of composite parts with all the tools they need.
Benefits to the composites industry include -
- Fast and accurate division of the initial CAD design into manufacturing pieces.
- Design of lay-up tooling complete with complex split faces.
- Automated ‘wizards’ for unwrapping complex 3D geometry into flat patterns for lay-up.
- Automated wrapping techniques for applying textures, labels and logos.
- Powerful 2 to 5 axis machining methods for accurate tooling manufacture.
- 5 axis NC trimming toolpaths for part finishing.
- Integrated drafting for complete tool development.
