ESPRIT CAM by DP Technology at PTC User World Event 2010

Camarillo — The latest version of computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) software created by DP Technology will be exhibited June 6-9, when ESPRIT® 2010 will be featured at PTC User World Event 2010 in Orlando, Fla.

Now in its 20th year, the annual PTC User World Event, taking place this year at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, offers technical training, networking opportunities and exhibitions of imaginative, cutting-edge solutions from leading technology companies.

Participants in PTC User World Event 2010 are encouraged to visit the ESPRIT booth, No. 502, where knowledgeable DP representatives will be available to discuss vital upgrades and perform demonstrations of how to best make those upgrades work for them.

Of most interest to those in attendance at the PTC User World Event, the ESPRIT FX™ feature tree ensures users associativity between Pro Engineer and ESPRIT, which includes improved rendering and visualization options, and supports multiple CAD models and assemblies. The associative properties of the ESPRIT FX feature tree, linking design features built inside the CAD system with manufacturing features built inside ESPRIT.

The associative technology of ESPRIT allows for the recognition of engineering changes made to a part model and the association between the original and changed part. ESPRIT retains the link to the original CAD file as well as a link to the faces utilized for each manufacturing feature created inside ESPRIT. If the CAD model changes, ESPRIT recognizes which faces have been changed, added or deleted, and will update the associated ESPRIT feature and ultimately the manufacturing processes.
