Depending on the design complexity of your work, you may need the additional capabilities of Advanced Surface Design. The module comes with powerful functions that help you easily perform highly specialized design tasks in both equipment design and milling preparation. For example, method planners use them to create global overbend areas and developments in sheet metal processing. Mold-makers construct complex parting surfaces and draft angles. Milling planners create run-off surfaces and close recesses with fill surfaces.

The functions of the CAD add-on module are ideal for designing technological aspects into the component. They let you compensate for springback in sheet-metal parts and shape trim curves to prior stages of deformation. Fillet surfaces are automatically reduced up to a sharp edge to improve flow in the die.

Multiple-component surface extension functions let you quickly and easily create parting surfaces and draft angles for foundry and injection molding work. Free surfaces can be infinitely shaped and connected tangentially to adjacent areas
