Delcam to Show Complete CADCAM System for Footwear at Asian Seminars
Delcam is offering a series of free seminars in the main shoemaking regions of Asia. The seminars will start in Pusan, Korea, on 22nd October, followed by Taichung, Taiwan, on 25th, and Wenzhou and Donguan in China on 27th and 29th, and end in Bangkok, Thailand on 2nd November. At each event, Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments in its complete solution for the design and manufacture of footwear.
The seminars will feature the new functionality for upper design and manufacture. It enables designs of the upper components to be created simply by sketching onto the surface of the last. Components can be defined in any color and in a variety of textures representing different materials. Buckles, laces and other accessories can be added to complete the design.
Once the design has been approved, the 3D model can then be converted into 2D representations of the various pieces. These can then be graded to produce components for the different sizes and data generated so that they can be cut from the chosen materials using knife, laser or water-cutting equipment.
New developments in Delcam's Total Modeling CAD system for sole design will also be covered. Total Modeling allows logos, textures and other decorations to be incorporated into designs more readily to help reinforce branding of products. In addition, new morphing options make modification of complex designs much easier and quicker, making it possible to create a greater selection of alternatives when presenting proposals for new designs.
