Delcam CRISPIN Asian Tour for Footwear CADCAM

Delcam CRISPIN will demonstrate its range of design and manufacturing software for the footwear industry at a series of free seminars across Asia in the coming weeks. The seminar series starts on 26th August in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and then moves to Bangkok, Thailand, on 1st September, and Houjie, China, on 4th September, before finishing in Beijing on 10th September.

One of the programs to be shown during the seminars will be the latest release of the 3D upper design module, ShoeDesign. ShoeDesign provides a range of options to develop new designs, either based on an existing last or when creating a completely novel product. The software comes with a range of materials, textures and colours, while features like stitching, padding, eyelets and laces can all be included. The interface has been revised, in particular to reduce the number of icons on the screen at any one time. In addition, the cursor action has been improved to speed up the drawing of style lines, and the selection of menus and icons.

Another product to be shown will be TechPac – a 2D system to generate technical packages for footwear designers to supply to their manufacturing partners. TechPac allows designers to specify the manufacturing processes to be used and the sequences of operations to be followed at all stages of the production of the shoe. The system is supplied with pre-defined templates to specify the path for the flow of manufacturing data during production. These templates can be modified by the user to cover any specific requirements of the design and manufacturing companies, or of the particular project. 2D part geometry, models and images can be imported into the documentation from the range of Delcam CRISPIN design software.
