Delcam’s CADCAM software gives toolmaker a competitive advantage
Switching to Delcam’s PowerSHAPE CAD software and PowerMILL CAM system has given Dutch toolmaker, FlexMax International Tooling, a big advantage over its competitors. The software has made it easier to import data, and quicker to create tooling designs a

Render - Bringing Your Designs To Life
A simple environment to create photo realistic images of 3D models for product design and project presentations. Within a couple of minutes any user can have a rendered image showing a design in a scene with spot lights and shadows. This makes rendering an integral part of the design process rather than traditionally being a separate operation done when the design nears completion.
Render includes
- Materials library: Render has several hundred materials pre-configured to choose from. These range from textured swatches that suggest moods and seasons to tactile metals and woods. Alternatively Render allows materials to be simply created and stored for your own collection
- Lighting studios: To avoid spending time setting up lights, Render comes with a professional selection of lighting studios that are easy to compare to highlight the design in the ideal ambience
- Scenes: Render provides a simple set of scenes to place your design in. These can be customised with your own environments
- Rendering while you think: Render works in a separate thread to PowerSHAPE and will render the model being worked on while the computer is idle in the background. If the scene is completed before the user starts work again the image will be flashed to the front until the user recommences. This allows the designer to review the product being modelled in a real environment giving the chance to perfect the styling earlier in the process
- Label wrapping: Render wraps labels that may have been scanned and imported into PowerSHAPE. These are dynamically slipped and scaled over the product
Render benefits
- The designer is constantly updated with photo realistic images through the evolution of a design. This feedback results in reaching the designer’s intention faster
- The user interface is kept simple so it does not impede the flow of work
- Integrated with PowerSHAPE’s hybrid modelling
Note: Render is part of the full version of PowerSHAPE. However, PowerSHAPE-e generates watermarked versions of the rendered images, so that you can see what you are missing!
