DATA-SHEET
FOR DIE MAKING
By simply pressing one
button, the program creates a complete data sheet for die making. Graphic
descriptions of the separate pieces that make up the model, with
information on outline length and number of punches for each piece in
each size and incidental general information (steel type, knife
height, etc.). It prints out a summarizing data sheet for the die
manufacturer and it calculates the cost for die purchasing divided by
die type.
AUTOMATIC
PIECE CONSUMPTION
By simply pressing one
button, the program creates a complete data sheet with the material
consumption for the entire model. Graphic
descriptions of the separate pieces that make up the model, with
information on net area and gross area for each piece. Gross area is
calculated increasing the net area by a percentage that depends on the
piece material.
It
prints out a summarizing data sheet and it calculates costs divided by
each material.
PLACEMENT
FOR MANUAL PIECE CONSUMPTION
Interactive
manual positioning of the selected pieces allows the user to obtain
net and gross area for the positioned pieces. The calculation of the
gross area is performed according to different methods (minimum
rectangle, variable step grid, expansion of the occupied area, and
others) to satisfy different needs and routines in calculating the
consumption. There is also a graphic printout of consumption for the
different materials and for the different selected pieces and it
calculates the material cost divided by material.
WORK
PROCESS SHEET
Simple tools allow the user
to create work process sheets with graphic
descriptions of the separate pieces and text descriptions of
the work that must be performed on the piece. Printout
of the standard outline, enriched by technological information and
general project information as aid for the processing. Photo-realistic
rendering of the finished model with 3D effects.
