Efficient material management

You will notice that PASCAM WoodWorks doesn't stop at the quick modification of model geometry but is also very powerful at the material management of your model assembly. PASCAM WoodWorks enables with its enhanced material management full associativity between the model geometry and the applied materials by means of material equations.

In a first step in the design process you are able to define at the PASCAM Part description which materials shall be assigned to which faces of the model assembly (i.e. a cabinet). In a later step of the design process or when using the model as a template for re-use in a re-configuration design the applied materials can be modified simply by exchanging the existing material definition in the PASCAM Material manager by materials from the SolidWorks or any user material data base. The applied materials will be found of course at the PASCAM wood list or any other exported list files, if needed.

Not only the actual applied material but also other properties can be specified, such as surface condition or special surface processing strategies, i.e. varnishing or sanding information.

Woodworkers with very high requirements on surface material (photorealism, etc.) are able to create a own user material data base with user-defined material definition and properties.
