Version 5 of Delcam's PowerShape hybrid modelling software has improved
solid and surface modelling capabilities, including whole model editing
by morphing, direct editing of a single face of a solid, plus associative
3D sketching of curves on to surfaces. Other enhancements include a new
'fill-in surface' option that can fill complex gaps with a surface
showing improved smoothness and better tangent continuity with the
surrounding surfaces. Delcam says the new features will enable designers
to create and modify their designs more quickly, without the restrictions
that result when using solid modelling techniques alone. The screen shot
shows an automotive bumper model before and after morphing with version 5.
