Schott Ships Pictures by PC 3.4 3D CAM Modeler
 MUNICH,
Germany, Jan 20, 2010 - Schott Systeme GmbH, a developer of CAD/CAM solutions
has launched an intermediate update for their design and manufacturing
software, Pictures by PC 3.4. This update incorporates a number of
enhancements in the area of modeling, machining and technical documentation.
Focusing on construction, the company has extended the abilities of their
existing hybrid solid, surface and mesh modeling suite. Improvements to the
modeler now make the construction of complex conceptual features far easier.
In addition, when combined with the software’s feature recognition
capabilities, a far greater range of model features can now be extracted and
‘directly’ modified without the need of a parametric feature ‘history’ tree.
This hybrid suite also sees the introduction of mesh healing, to help
identify and repair problems in imported STL models.
With ease of machining in mind, enhancements to CAM include a selection
of ‘ready made’ machining strategies. Building on the software’s ability to
allow customers to setup and save preferred methods of machining, this
catalogue of operations helps new customers to choose and apply the correct
strategy in only a couple of mouse clicks. This proves especially useful
when dealing with the application of more complex milling operations such as
5 axis machining. Generally the customer is then only left with the decision
of which tool and cutting parameters to use, with this new update also now
incorporating a ‘cutting data’ calculator to automatically determine the
actual tool feed relating to the feed per tooth.
Finally to complement Schott Systeme’s technical documentation suite, the
company has now integrated 3D PDF into their ‘Business Graphics’ module.
Although 3D PDF is not a new technology, this has been integrated into the
software’s ‘linked’ PDF’s, whereby all of a project's documentation can be
graphically organized, and automatically converted into a single PDF,
complete with the ability to navigate the projects links within the PDF.

the above features, visit the video demonstration at
