A Product Life Cycle Management solution for manufacturing process planning, detailing, verification and simulation allows 'product morphing'.
Delmia recently launched Version 5 Release 9 (V5R9), of its 3D Product Life Cycle Management (3D PLM) solution for manufacturing process planning, detailing, verification and simulation. Delmia V5R9 represents a major milestone in the PLM as it enables product morphing. The new version will be available from September.

'Product morphing' is a set of best practices contained within Delmia V5.

It allows relational design, process integration and PPR infrastructure to automatically combine the existing design definitions and templates with new specifications.

Product Morphing thus drives the regeneration of fully engineered product definitions.

By maximizing the re-use of existing knowledge and experience, morphing helps reduce cycle times and increases market responsiveness.

Delmia V5R9 offers a range of new capabilities for product morphing, leading the way to integrated manufacturing engineering: * Date and range configuration mechanisms for manufacturing engineers working in the aerospace, shipbuilding, and defense industries.

* Enhanced creation and management of numerical control (NC) manufacturing processes.

* Geometric tools for improved collaboration between manufacturing and tooling design engineers.

* Planning infrastructure improvements to leverage the re-use of existing manufacturing libraries in process planning and detailing.
