(Delcam: Salt Lake City) -- The 2013 release of Delcam’s PowerSHAPE CAD system includes enhancements to its direct modelling and reverse engineering capabilities that will make the software both more flexible and easier to use. In addition, the solid and surface modeling options have been made faster and even more robust. Full details are available on the PowerSHAPE 2013 learning zone at http://lz.powershape.com.

PowerSHAPE provides the most comprehensive range of modeling techniques available in a single CAD program. Having all the different technologies in the same package reduces the need to transfer data between multiple programs and so streamlines the whole product development process. The broad range of functionality makes PowerSHAPE ideal for the reengineering of existing products into improved designs or for creating specialized items. At the same time, the combination of quick and easy direct modeling options, together with powerful and flexible surface modeling, makes PowerSHAPE the perfect choice for design for manufacture, especially when converting product designs into tooling designs.
