Delcam CRISPIN launches new design software
Specialist footwear industry technology provider Delcam CRISPIN has released new software for footwear design and manufacture, which it claims is simpler and more intuitive to use.
The new versions include improvements to the LastMaker program for last design and the Engineer Pro system for the production of 2D sample and graded footwear patterns, as well as speed and ease-of-use improvements across the range.
The main addition to the 2011 version of the LastMaker program is a new ‘Graphical User Interface’. The functions for last editing, measurements, control planes and sections are accessed through icons rather than a mixture of icons and menus, providing a simpler-to-use and more intuitive working process.
For the 2011 release, Engineer Pro includes a new snapping function that allows single or multiple data points to snap to another data point when drawing or editing base lines. A ‘Parts & Shapes’ library has been implemented to allow parts and shapes to be saved in an external library. An Interactive Margin function to quickly and easily adjust the position of a created margin line has been added, plus the Match Margin function, which uses a target base line to define a new margin line.
