The APC computer software, used to define airfoils, blade shape and the resulting CNC motion, dominantly reflects parting line driven requirements. CNC milling machines are used to accurately machine the molds, aka tooling. Injection Molding Parting Line RequirementsĪPC propellers are injection molded using a pair of mold halves. The first version of the software came on line in 1989.
The system has been undergoing continuous development and improvement for over three decades. This specialized software allows APC to design, analyze, and manufacture all propellers in-house at our California facility. The software is specifically tailored for model and UAV propeller design and manufacture. Engineering Design Process Used to Develop APC PropellersĪPC propeller development uses a proprietary PC based CAD-CAM software.
