DESIGNER

Direct modelling frees the user from the constraints of a traditional modelling system. Rather than modifying a lengthy series of parameters to make a design change, direct modelling allows the user to push, pull and drag the geometry to obtain their desired shape. These changes can be completely freeform or driven by numeric increments and measurements taken from existing geometry. Knowledge of how the original model was constructed is no longer necessary and design changes are not constrained to the original methods of creation.

Small gaps between surfaces on imported models can be automatically healed preventing the time consuming process of rebuilding very small surface patches. Where surfaces are corrupt or missing.

DESIGNER provides powerful model simplification tools that help users prepare complex CAD data for efficient CAM programming. Before machining, models can be cleaned up by removing unnecessary details such as small holes, fillets, logos, or text—features that are irrelevant to the machining process and can slow toolpath generation.

Simplification reduces data complexity, improving system performance and toolpath calculation speed, while ensuring the part geometry remains accurate to its manufacturing intent. Direct modelling makes it easy to edit imported CAD files from any source, enabling quick adjustments without needing the original design history.

By focusing only on the essential manufacturing geometry, users can create clean, optimized models that streamline downstream processes, reduce programming time, and enhance overall machining efficiency.

 DESIGNER enables users to generate fully detailed 2D technical drawings directly from 3D CAD models, ensuring seamless transition from design to documentation. Views such as orthographic, section, detail, and isometric can be created instantly and linked to the 3D model, maintaining full associativity—any design change automatically updates the drawing.

Comprehensive dimensioning and annotation tools allow users to add tolerances, surface finishes, datum symbols, and custom notes with ease. Standardized drawing templates, borders, and title blocks ensure consistent presentation and compliance with company or industry standards.

Whether for manufacturing, inspection, or communication with suppliers, DESIGNER’s technical drawing tools deliver accurate, professional documentation that reflects the true geometry of the model and supports a complete digital manufacturing workflow.
