The new Drape Surface provides tools to create skins over complex forms, to cover holes and other non-required features with ease. This might seem a little esoteric, but I’m sure some customers will use it particularly those in the shoe industry. While on the subject of offset surfacing, you can now create a variable offset surface where individual parameters are added for each UV point. So, with this in mind, Vero began a process of looking at the system a few releases back, improving it and bringing it up to date with a complete reworking of the interface. Of course, when you have a system with such breadth of functionality and knowledge built up over many years, you also find that the user experience starts to suffer. The system covers everything from 2D and 3D CAD (it was the first system to implement Parasolid on the Windows platform) to mold, die, and electrode design and analysis, as well as a whole host of machining covering everything from 2.5- to 5-axis milling.
The company has been building its depth of knowledge and impressive level of detail in process and task support for the mold, die, and machining industry for the past three decades. One of the leaders in the latter category is UK-based Vero Software. There are general-purpose CAD tools providing basic CAM support and then there are those heavily engaged in the production environment developing tools to solve real manufacturing issues.
