DIMENSIONS!™ is a Computer Aided Design System based on Microsoft™ technology that was developed in cooperation with users, customers, and industry advisers to address the requirements of the leather manufacturing industry. Our team’s more than 20 years of collective experience in the development of human-centered software solutions are concentrated in DIMENSIONS!™. The system can be operated as a stand-alone solution, or be integrated in an IT-network, build on off-the-shelf DB server.

DIMENSIONS!™ is the foundation of Procam’s software solutions for integrated product development. The CAD data and information contained within DIMENSIONS!™ are the basis for all further enterprise processes, such as cost calculation, material allocation, cutting, product data managment, production planning, etc. Because of this, future-oriented technologies and open standards were a basic requirement during development.

Con la finalidad de incrementar la competitividad de las empresas del sector calzado, reducir los costos y mejorar la calidad, la Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico Sustentable creó el "Programa de Desarrollo de la Competitividad de las MiPYMES del Sector Calzado Mediante la Implementación, Capacitación y Consultoría de Diseño Asistido por Computadora”, con el apoyo de la Secretaría de Economía y el soporte técnico del CIATEC.

Así, en el marco del proyecto de mejora de la cultura tecnológica, se desarrolló el software "DIDACTICAD” para que sea implementado por las pequeñas y medianas empresas de calzado en el estado.

"DIDACTICAD” tiene como objetivo principal, elevar la competitividad de las MIPYMES Guanajuatenses por medio del uso de tecnologías de diseño y desarrollo de producto, asistidas por computadora, compatibles a los sistemas internacionales.

De esta manera 100 micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas Guanajuatenses del Sector Cuero-Calzado serán beneficiadas en el uso del software 2D y 3D, denominado "DIDACTICAD”.

Capacitando a sus modelistas y diseñadores en la obtención de patrones electrónicos.

LeaCad is an innovative system for Footwear and Laether Goods design, based on Windows/Vista, it's very user-friendly in comprison to other products on the market. The parametric tools allows to speed up most of the operations required to design and setting up new style, making them easier. The standard formats interfaces, allows to import and export the designed styles to any different Cad software. LeaCad footwear grading tools allows to grade the stye by applying custom modifiers and size groups. Everything very easily.

CADCobblerXQ
2D CAD system for construction, grading and pattern cutting in shoemaking industry, developed for MS Windows XQ operating system
CADCobblerXQ is a result of many months of intensive effort of ClassiCAD's® developing department. It earns gains from multiyear work experiences of best shoe designers and newest methods and features of IT branch.
Graphic tools and functions intended for line creation and editing are newly resolved from the ground, retaining proven methods and tried-and-tested approaches. Newly drawn up shell database brings more information about models and shoe parts. Exact parts' typology increases data lucidity and simplifies construction.
Standard grading is practically durationless and easy to manage even for an absolute beginner. Herewith there are also some very sophisticated grading methods accessible for special cases and advanced users (die size centering, grading in more reference frames etc.).
ClassiCAD's® traditional weapon - elaborated output functions, allow to connect wide range of output devices, starting from simple and economy printer till ambitious technologies like laser beam cutting. Patterns for cutting dies production can be the real system output (including possibility of e-mailing data directly to die-maker), as well as production shoe parts cut from several materials (leather, textile, plastics).
What's Interesting for IT specialist:
completely overwritten application kernel for newest Microsoft technology - Windows XQ
user-friendly interface, making training very easy, rich using of graphics, tool tips and other easy-to-operate elements
sophisticated philosophy of function handling, minimized user interactions
best features offered by Windows XP/Vista operating system and traditional philosophy of technological viewpoint of ClassiCAD applications in synergic combination
individual approach: extensive configurability of technological behavior, user interface personal settings
high performance on standard "office" hardware, optimized memory management
easy cooperation with peripheral devices
XML standard utilized for system administration and communication

Modules & Functions

Digitizing |Work with lines |Construction |Grading |Nesting |Outputs |
Digitizing is a process when the pattern basis is transferred into digital form. The input is modeler basis which is digitized with an A3 digitizer. Basic line shapes are scanned whereas others are constructed with help of special system functions. Connective function allows scanning of larger sizes. For scanning of pieces templates scanners can be used.

Digitizing

Work with lines

The system contains special functions for work with lines and their use in piece construction:

» Line modification and adjustments
» Creation of new lines with help of parallel and non-parallel offset functions
» Function for line rotation and movement
» Symmetrical line creation
» Functions for lenghtenning, trimming, cutting, etc.


Construction

For effective creation of all kinds of upper, lining and interlining pieces the system offers various processes. For instance construction of pieces of normal type (without an axis), symmetrical with one axis, unsymmetrical with one or more axis. When constructing pieces it is possible to use various corner modifications. The most used are circular fillets and various kinds of chamfer. All kinds of technological notches, size and width marks can be inserted into the lines forming the outline. Each piece can be completed with various types of inner lines and marks, mostly cut-outs and sewing marks.


Grading

Prepared models can be automatically graded in all used grading systems:

» English
» French
» Metric
» Mondopoint
or an individual grading system can be defined in this stage. When a particular grading system as well as size assortment are chosen, grading of all model pieces is a matter of a few seconds. For advanced users there are special functions offering the possibility of non-standard grading, such as centering, shift, shape and hold functions, etc..


Nesting

Nesting means positioning graded templates into assigned paper size or into other material. Nesting can be done automatically, manually or both methods can be combined so that there are time and material savings. Nesting of more graded models can be done simultaneously.


Outputs

From the prepared parts production templates can be made on various kinds of plotters as well as printed on any type of printer. You can choose various template descriptions, such as pattern or piece name, size number, etc. You can print technical description for each model. Also data for material and price calculation in CalcMaster system are provided as well as direct connection with automatic cutting lines of leather, textile and synthetic materials.

This product is the perfect solution for pattern engineers wishing to develop and perform advanced shell grading. All pattern constructions are possible as extensive size and fit grading features.
Its tight integration with all the other MindCad suite products enable an integrated development cycle both on the design and engineering aspects.

The intense rivalry in the footwear market demands a high turn around of designs but the trend is to have brands separated from manufacturers and sole departments separated from pattern engineers. Correct communication of ideas and data is essential and getting short lead times on a new style whilst maintaining quality and remaining within cost can result in difficulties; avoiding these problems is key to overtaking the competition.

Delcam works closely with global manufacturers, global brands, consultants and partner companies through our customer base and internationally funded projects. This large pool of knowledge contributes to the development of the product functionality to ensure our customers have the necessary advantage they desire.
