Delcam to launch ‘intelligent’ footwear software
02/04/2014
The UK-based company says one of the key enhancements can be seen when creating a chain from a series of intersecting lines. Engineer Pro anticipates the chain and highlights it. Any constrained items, including markers, linked to the chain will react more intelligently during grading and will adjust their positions automatically.
The single-click boundary command introduced in the 2013 release of Engineer Pro has been enhanced. Adjoining regions can now be added to the piece with a single click in the neighbouring area. In addition, if a part has a mirrored boundary, the features will be mirrored automatically. Once the piece area has been finalised, edge details can be added around the part simply by dragging and dropping designs from the library of edge templates.
Other time-saving enhancements include the ability to step around all the intersections in the boundary and apply radii to the corners, and the selection of small items has been refined.
The Jinjiang International Footwear Exposition will be held in Jinjiang Machi City, Fujian, from April 18 to 21.
