ICEM Surf provides breakthrough technology enabling users to produce world-class aesthetic products in today's competitive, global markets. Acknowledged as the premier system for the creation and development of Class A surfaces, ICEM Surf bridges the demands of aesthetic designers and production engineers from visualisation right up to tool and die designers.
The flexibility of ICEM Surf results in high-quality surfaces required in today's design environment, while substantially reducing overall design time. Product development teams using ICEM Surf leave the traditional process behind. ICEM Surf's integrated solutions enable users to implement a new, more efficient method of product development called Virtual Modelling. Stylists and engineers work out design treatments dynamically on screen and immediately see the aesthetic, as well as the engineering, implications of their ideas.
ICEM Surf also has special functionality to painlessly handle the input of digitised physical models. Surface models can be reverse engineered from ordered or unordered (point clouds) digitised data in a fraction of the time compared to other systems. Special diagnostic tools guide the user to form the correct balance between surface smoothness and adherence to the digitised data.
ICEM Surf supports the direct modelling techniques that optimise the update cycles in design and engineering. After creating an initial shape, the user can concentrate on developing the shape through Direct Modelling, operating on surfaces or even directly on scans (point clouds). As the scans or surfaces are directly manipulated, all diagnostics like cross sections or split lines are dynamically updated. With ICEM Surf you always see what you get.
By using ICEM Surf's Global Modelling function, whole detailed models can be modified in total – interactively and dynamically – giving the aesthetic designers an interactive tool to work out a design solution. With the new Unified Modelling approach, you can model all different kinds of entities with the same functionality, without even thinking about their geometric nature. Engineering can adapt structural surfaces to the modified aesthetic surface effortlessly through ICEM Surf’s Feature Modelling function.
And with simultaneous real-time analysis, you can monitor reflection lines, curvature, or deviation from reference data dynamically as you manipulate surfaces. This approach results in unparalleled surface quality and enables designers to converge on production quality surfaces in a fraction of the time that other systems would require for the same task.
