De-featuring and Adjusting for CNC Programming
Traditional history-based CAD systems are designed for specifying detailed design intent and documentation. At times however, these systems can slow the process of getting parts out the door. Additionally, the many features and constraints can interfere in getting the job done. SpaceClaim lets you manipulate geometry however you see fit to get your work cells set up and ready for production.
- Use SpaceClaim's unique and powerful de-featuring tools to create in-process models for different machining operations.
- Design jigs and fixtures off of in-process models.
- Make edits quickly and easily, without having to use a complicated CAD system.
- Adjust geometry correctly to account for the manufacturing process.

Customer Quotes
"Before
we used SpaceClaim, we had to go to the CAD team every time we needed a
change. Now with SpaceClaim, the process is speeded up significantly
because we're able to test the changes ourselves."
Sue Stroope
NVH and CAE Manager
Borg Warner, TorqTransfer Systems Business Unit
"Often
I had Models for analysis we couldn't get to at all because it took
forever. Now, I am saving at least 10 man hours per model analyzed and I
am able to get results more quickly than I had anticipated"

"SpaceClaim's ease of use
and compatibility with a broad range of CAD software, enables our
engineers to more quickly verify and measure 3D model data from
designers and prepare those designs for the manufacturing process.
Activities in SpaceClaim also include model modification before the
machining process and planning the assembling procedures."
