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.

Bringing Footwear Forward with Complete CADCAM

Delcam CRISPIN are dedicated in providing Shoe CAD CAM solutions to footwear professionals worldwide in both 3D and 2D.

Delcam has a highly respected name throughout the world of footwear manufacture. Although this is the core of our business, our products are also used for concept design and visualisation of sample shoes.

With Delcam CRISPIN you have a partner who will help you to achieve faster turn-around in your shoe / footwear design delivery systems. Our footwear solution removes reliance on manual skills, so your staff can work creatively, but with increased accuracy and productivity. Our Products run on the latest Windows operating systems, (and some on others as well). We provide a basic and enhanced level of functionality and support / training for most products. ..

Whether you want to..
- Create last data from solid lasts,
- Create 3D shoe designs to advertising quality,
- Create 2D pattern data, (optimally from 3D design)
- Get real time pattern samples (in 2D or 3D)
- Create manufacturing documentation. CIM
- Get analytical costing information for graded parts, (including parallelogram,SLM nesting data).
... or create a repository for all your electronic last data. We have a solution.

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.

In order to cope with scheduling and monitoring weaving machines in a weaving mill, Van de Wiele has developed a network system which makes it possible to control the carpet weaving machines from a central planning office.

CAD designs can be analyzed and checked on design failures. Designs are catalogued in a design library.

Weave structures that will be applied to the designs can be designed graphically.

Special developed software generates production orders from an order book with customer orders regarding an optimal production process and a minimum of waste with the possibility to visualize the carpets, to calculate the yarn consumption, to make production sheets, … .

Production orders are sent to the best suited carpet weaving machine using an electronic planningboard.

The status of the looms is continuously monitored. Production data are stored in a data base and can be accessed through an intranet.

We@velink can be easily interfaced to other software such as ERP systems or customer computer applications.

As a summary, it can be said that the We@velink system really uses the complete flexibility of the carpet weaving machines in an optimal way.
