Where does ICEM Surf fit in the design to manufacturing process?
ICEM Surf today has become a universal modelling system for surfaces and scans in all application areas, from Styling and Conceptual Design up to Tool & Die Design, via Visualisation, Class A Surface Modelling, and Engineering. This means that the entire design process from the first idea to the manufacturable product can be captured by one single application ICEM Surf. Nevertheless, depending on a customer’s environment, any other data input at any stage in the design process can be imported to ICEM Surf. Analogously, ICEM Surf data can be transferred into any other application further down in the process chain. For these systems, ICEM Surf is the catalyst or collaborator in this process. Packages like CDRS and Alias/Wavefront, for instance, are used for conceptual iterations, and data models can be transferred to ICEM Surf for feasibility studies and surface evaluations prior to manufacturing. These surfaces can then be transferred to other major packages like Pro/ENGINEER, I-DEAS Ma
