(Delcam: Salt Lake City) -- Delcam will highlight the strengths of its PowerSHAPE CAD software in data repair and modeling for manufacture at amerimold, the international trade fair for moldmaking and tooling, and design and application development, to be held in Novi, Michigan, on June 13–14, 2012. PowerSHAPE is unique among CAD systems in offering Tribrid Modeling, the ability to work with solids, surfaces, and triangle models in a single environment.

PowerSHAPE’s strength in data repair is centered on its Solid Doctor options. These enable users to tackle all the common problems that can be found when translating low precision and incomplete data, including gaps and overlaps between surfaces, or duplicated and missing surfaces, and generate a valid, high-precision model.

The Solid Doctor uses a combination of automatic data repair tools and surface creation and editing options available within PowerSHAPE. This combination means that simple repairs can be carried out quickly and easily, while more complex problems can be overcome by deleting and replacing the existing surfaces within the model.
