BIRMINGHAM, UK, Dec 18, 2014 - Delcam India will demonstrate the latest versions of the company’s increasingly popular software PowerMILL, PowerSHAPE (including ToolMaker and Electrode), and FeatureCAM, during the IMTEX 2015 machine-tool exhibition to be held in Bangalore from 22nd to 28th January. Delcam will be located at Booth A-103, in Hall 3C.


There are a host of additions in the 2015 versions of these products including improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, improved collision checking to also cover near misses, and more efficient raster finishing in PowerMILL; improvements in direct modelling, surface modelling and reverse engineering, plus support for data from Creaform HandySCAN handheld scanners in PowerSHAPE Pro; and a range of enhancements in three-axis milling, two-axis and five-axis drilling, turning and turn-mill, and wire EDM in FeatureCAM.

In addition to this, the latest release of the PowerINSPECT inspection software has a new interface with new icons that make the software more intuitive and even more easier to use. Other enhancements in the new version include the ability to create compound items, and so speed up and simplify repetitive measurements, enhancements to the measurement dialogs and a further increase in the range of geometric features that can be inspected.

Specifically, high-efficiency machining using Delcam’s Vortex strategy will also be demonstrated at the Delcam booth, as well as at several machine tool partner booths. The Vortex area-clearance strategy produces safe toolpaths with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the whole toolpath. As a result, higher feed rates and material-removal rates are possible, making the cutting time shorter by as much as 70%. In addition, cutting is undertaken at a more consistent volume-removal rate and at a near constant feed rate, so extending tool life and protecting the machine.

Commenting on the participation, Delcam’s Managing Director for India & Middle East, Vineet Seth, said, "We are very happy to announce our participation at IMTEX 2015. IMTEX is an event that sees visitors from all domains in the industry and we are all geared up to showcase our latest updates and improvements in our software solutions. Thanks to our wide product portfolio, we have a solution for most complex manufacturing problems in aerospace, automotive, toolmaking, foundry & forging, medical & dental, footwear, woodworking and jewellery industry verticals.”

"Our offerings in the area of robotic machining will also be on display. The versatility of robotic machining has been attracting a lot of interest and IMTEX will be a good platform for our introduction to this technology,” continued Mr. Seth.

"We have a large customer base of over 2,500 customers in India using our solutions and we will be delighted to welcome them to our booth during their visit to the event. I am also particularly happy that we will be getting an opportunity to meet up with all our industry partners at the event, and will be able to share thoughts, ideas and mutual progress with them."
