Software offers multiple modelling techniques
Having all the different modelling techniques in a single package reduces the need to transfer data between multiple programs and so streamlines the whole product development process
Educational CAD software explained in podcasts
Training programme comprises 27 tutorials, covering all stages from basic sketching through to solid and surface modelling.
It is also on target to achieve a total 25% time reduction within its new product development process.
The Tecnol Group is one of the region's largest optical manufacturers, with over 1300 professional staff operating in modern facilities with state-of-the-art equipment.
As well as producing its own original styles, it also manufactures designs under licence from international brands including Lacoste, Benetton and Pierre Cardin.
After only two months of all staff from Tecnol's modelling department completing their training in the software, the effects of PowerShape's versatility and flexibility were already noticeable.
Both the design of new styles, and subsequent changes to the initial models, had become faster because of the combination of solid and surface modelling offered by the Delcam software.
PowerShape has also helped to raise quality by ensuring exact symmetry in the design components and in improving the fit of the lenses.
The availability of three-dimensional models, rather than just sketches and two-dimensional drawings, also simplified the planning of downstream manufacturing operations. Request a free brochure from Delcam ...
