Aerospace

Companies involved in the aerospace sector are facing increasing demands from their customers for shorter lead times, and improved quality and reporting systems. This puts great pressure on component manufacturers to convert the designer's ideas and concepts into real parts as efficiently and accurately as possible. The demands on the aerospace sector are unique in that each component has to perform with 100% reliability in challenging environments. This preformance challenge has to be met with the economic challenge of continuously reduced costs and shortened times to market. Delcam's software has helped aerospace companies around the world meet these unique and often conflicting requirements.

PowerMILL 5 Axis Machining

PowerMILL is the world’s leading specialist CAM software for the manufacture of the complex shapes typically found in the aerospace  industry. PowerMILL contains a wide range of strategies, including the latest high-efficiency roughing, high-speed finishing, and 5-axis machining techniques, as well as exceptionally fast calculation times and powerful editing tools to ensure optimum performance on the machine tool.

PowerMILL can accept data from any CAD system, and the combination of power, flexibility and ease of use ensures that users can generate roughing and finishing toolpaths which optimise the productivity of CNC machine tools. PowerMILL’s versatility makes it perfectly suited to the aerospace industry.

Verification & Optimisation

Vericut software enables programmers to prove out, and optimize, NC code before it goes to the machining centre. By detecting errors, potential collisions, or areas of inefficiency the programmer can improve the NC code and generate a safe and efficient program.

Inspection using Coordinate Measuring Machines

Using the PowerINSPECT software, Camplex offers a range of inspection solutions to suit the needs of the aerospace industry. New CMM’s, retro-fits to existing CMM’s, articulated arms, laser scanners, and On-Machine Verification systems are just some of the services Camplex can provide to assist your metrology needs.

Baces3D Laser Scanning and Reverse Engineering Software

Our laser scanning systems are used for reverse engineering and inspection applications. Reverse engineering allows the digital capture of a point cloud which is used to build a CAD model. This has a wide variety of applications in the aerospace industry as it allows for non-contact inspection and data capture, as well as aquisition of legacy data from an existing part where no CAD model exists.

Camplex's solution to reverse engineering utilises Delcam's PowerSOLUTION software, combined with Baces3D portable metrology and scanning hardware solutions. 

PowerSOLUTION CADCAM Software

Delcam software provides a complete suite of CADCAM engineering products, suitable for a wide range of engineering applications. This includes industry preferred products such as PowerMILL, PowerSHAPE, and CopyCAD. The unique hybrid modeling techniques of Delcam PowerSOLUTION software, enables designers and manufacturers to work with any combination of STL point cloud information, surface data, and solid models within a single CADCAM environment. This unique approach enables rapid completion and optimisation of component designs.
