Delcam Unveils TechPac for Footwear
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, Mar 10, 2009 - Delcam CRISPIN has expanded its range of design and
manufacturing software for the footwear industry with the launch of a number of
new and enhanced products. The company is already the world’s largest supplier
of CADCAM software to the footwear industry – it is the only supplier able to
provide a complete solution for the design and manufacture of both uppers and
soles.
The most significant new product is TechPac – a 2D system to generate
technical packages for footwear designers to supply to their manufacturing
partners. TechPac allows designers to specify the manufacturing processes to be
used and the sequences of operations to be followed at all stages of the
production of the shoe. It will help ensure that the design is produced exactly
as specified and to the required delivery schedule.
The system is supplied with pre-defined templates to specify the path for the
flow of manufacturing data during production. These templates can be modified by
the user to cover any specific requirements of the design and manufacturing
companies, or of the particular project. 2D part geometry, models and images can
be imported into the documentation from the range of Delcam CRISPIN design
software.
TechPac incorporates basic 2D engineering capabilities, plus comprehensive
text functionality, with formatting options including font, colour and scale, so
that the manufacturing companies can mark up the documents with any comments or
queries on the suggested processes. For example, reference lines can be added
onto the parts for operations like stitching, skiving and folding, together with
images and text on the type of machine to be used.
All of the documents can be provided as pdf or HTML reports so making it easy
for everyone involved in the project to exchange data electronically.
The most important of the new updates is the latest release of the 3D upper
design module, ShoeDesign. ShoeDesign provides a comprehensive range of options
to develop new designs, either based on an existing last or when creating a
completely novel product. The software comes with a wide range of materials,
textures and colours, while features like stitching, padding, eyelets and laces
can all be included to complete the design.
The main focus of the new version has been on improving the ease of use, so
making the software simpler for new users to learn and faster for experienced
operators to use. The interface has been revised, in particular to reduce the
number of icons on the screen at any one time. In addition, the cursor action
has been improved to speed up the drawing of style lines, and the selection of
menus and icons.
Handling of textures has also been improved. It has been made easier to edit
existing textures, and to drag and drop textures from a texture library onto the
various panels of the upper.
The new version of the LastMaker software for last design has also been made
easier to use, both for the creation of standard lasts and for the development
of bespoke designs. Improved creation and editing tools for cross-sections have
been added to allow more specific adjustment to the overall design. Similarly,
profile-line editing has been enhanced to make it easier to modify the outline
shape of the last. Templates are available for the toe, back-curve and bottom
sections of the last, so that these sections can be incorporated into the design
more quickly and easily.
The ability has been added to compare scanned foot data with an existing
digital last, to help produce a custom-made pair of lasts. Control planes, based
on standard foot measurements, have been included, making it simpler to adjust
standard last shapes for a bespoke design.
Developments have also been made to the base 2D Engineer package. The main
new functionality allows Edge Templates to be appended to a part boundary,
allowing dependent margins, makers, stabs and notches to be added after
the boundary has been created. In addition, work has continued on many areas of
2D Engineer to make the software faster and easier to use.
