:: Toolmaking
Delcam’s Power Solution CADCAM software has been developed over more than 30 years to give fast, efficient design, manufacture and inspection of all types of tooling. This includes molds for plastics, rubber, composites, glass and ceramics, and press tools, patterns and casting equipment for metals. For all these applications, Delcam’s software provides a comprehensive solution to increase productivity and speed delivery at all stages, from the receipt of the customer’s design through to the inspection of sample components
Mouldmaking
Delcam’s Power Solution gives benefits to companies making all types of moulds, including injection molds for plastics, rubber or ceramics, blow molds for plastics or glass, compression molds and lay-up tools for composites. The software supports every stage in the development of a mold from receipt of a CAD model through the design, manufacture and assembly of the various components. An inspection module can be used at all stages to confirm the accuracy of both tooling and sample parts.
Delcam’s Power Solution software has proven itself especially suitable for the design and manufacture of injection molds for plastics. It has allowed many companies to move from a two-stream system, where the core and cavity are designed by one team, with the remainder of the tool designed by a second team in a largely two-dimensional environment.Using Delcam PowerSOLUTION software the entire mold can be developed three dimensionally by a single team using a single software system. This new approach increases quality and reduces mistakes throughout the design process, helping reduce costs and compress time to meet strict delivery schedules. More info…
Press Toolmaking
Designers and manufacturers of press tools face a number of significant and unique challenges. Delcam has partnered with a number of leading manufacturers, including Ogihara, Hyundai, First Auto Works China and Yan Feng Visteon, to enable our staff first to understand the specific needs of the industry and then to develop particular features within the Power Solution suite of CADCAM software to meet these demands.

Patternmaking
Delcam’s Power Solution software allows patternmakers to move from traditional methods based on drawings to modern, computer-based three-dimensional modelling and machining. The use of 3D computer models removes the ambiguity inherent in 2D drawings, so reducing mistakes and rework, while adding CNC machining allows productivity and accuracy to be increased and delivery times to be shortened.

Die-Casting
Delcam’s Power Solution helps companies speed all stages of the design and manufacture of cast metal components. PowerSHAPE’s hybrid modelling combines the best of solid and surface modelling to give the flexibility needed when developing the complex shapes now used in the casting industry. PowerMILL provides fast and reliable generation of toolpaths for the machining of either patterns or dies. The software supports a wide range of machining strategies, including options for high-speed machining and 5 Axis machining, and also offers flexible toolpath editing, and integrated toolpath verification and post-processing. These features all combine to allow more accurate tooling to be made and ensure that accurate parts are produced. This keeps costs down by minimising the amount of finish machining needed on the castings and by ensuring that the consistency is high enough to allow these operations to be automated. More info…
Machining
PowerMILL is the world’s leading specialist NC CAM software for the manufacture of the complex shapes typically found in the toolmaking industry. Key features include a wide range of strategies, including the latest high-efficiency roughing, high-speed finishing, and 5-axis machining techniques, exceptionally fast calculation times and powerful editing tools to ensure optimum performance on the machine tool.
