Split models into core and cavity halves, including parting surfaces, sliders, and shut-out faces. 
Automate electrode design for EDM. Add clearance, extensions, holder geometry, and spark gaps.
Avoid damaging cutting tools by preventing access to slots that will be produced with EDM. 
Combine Direct Modeling tools with the PowerShape electrode wizard to create complex electrodes with vector burning.
Burn multiple EDM features with a single roughing and finishing electrode for improved productivity.
Connect with PowerMill and apply user-defined machining templates to families of electrodes for automatic CAM programming.
Connect with PowerInspect to validate the size and position of the electrode during CNC machining and subsequent EDM.
Interface with shop-floor hardware to automate the EDM process and avoid human setup errors.
Replace faces on solid models with a single command, and reduce the time needed to incorporate design changes.
Create multiple 3D solid extrusions using 2D text. Combine with TrueType fonts to simplify text additions to models.
Simplify the creation of highly complex addendum and parting surfaces, used in the design of press tools.
Use built-in catalogs to complete the mold-base design. Add sliding cores, lifters, mold locks, and cooling circuits.
PowerShape integrates with scanning devices to capture measurement data and quickly convert into usable 3D models.Â
Find and fix common faults in imported STL meshes to avoid potential issues downstream. 
Use reverse engineering tools to convert STL meshes into wireframes, surfaces, and solid models. 
Accurately and automatically align meshes with other triangle models, surfaces, or solids.
Produce a 3D curve representing the outline of STL meshes and use to assist with surface and solid modeling.
Access tools to manipulate large STL meshes. Fix gaps, smooth regions, and combine with surface and solid data.
Interactively sketch triangles to close complex holes found in STL meshes.
Use morphing to counter the effects of gravity and stress relief on parts, reducing quality-related concessions.
Add logos and badges to your 3D model. Wrap repeating patterns of textures onto entire models or localized regions.
