PowerSHAPE-e is the perfect tool for CAD-based research. Whether you are customizing design and/or manufacturing processes, or developing new CAD methods, PowerSHAPE-e’s powerful API (Application Programming Interface) gives you the tools you need. Write your own code using VB.net, and simply plug it in to see your designs and techniques come to life in 3D.
Example research projects include...
Loughborough University of Technology (UK) have researched into automating the design and analysis of sports equipment such as golf clubs and tennis rackets.

TNO (Netherlands) have researched into automating the design of conformal
cooling circuits (following the part shape) in injection mould tools being
manufactured via layer-based Rapid Manufacture techniques.
