CAD/CAM/CAE analysis finds mould problems
An integrated CAD/CAM/CAE analysis of a mould design can detect potential manufacturing issues - such as welding lines, air traps, best gate location, etc, allowing time for correction.
Latest CAD/CAM speeds up prototyping
Using the very latest CAD/CAM technology allowed an engineering company to produce early CAD and STL models for rapid prototyping of a piece of precision skiing equipment.
The new option calculates the volume of plastics to be used, the melt front distribution, the delay time between melt and gas injection and the spatial distribution of both the gas and plastics at any point during the filling sequence.
Features also include the following: * Imports hot runners directly from VISI Modelling with the definition of hot tips as triangulated geometry.
* Imports and re-meshes triangulated data from other FEM data.

Mould and die software checks mould suitability
Customers of a mould and die company can create a full 3D model to show how a mould will be represented and can analyze a model to assess whether a mould will perform to their expectations.
* Multi cavity support for runner repetitions.
* Thermal analysis of the conditioning system using parallel and serial circuits.
* GIF animation - representing the evolution of any filling sequence.
VISI Flow combines the powerful versatility of VISI Modelling and the high result accuracy of finite element analysis.
The system has a user friendly interface, short model preparation/calculation times and Vero's patented technology, VISI Flow.
For part or mould designers and plastics injection moulding technicians, software includes from filling analysis to warpage calculations and thermal optimisation analysis.
* About Vero Software - the company creates, owns and distributes software for aiding the design and manufacturing process in specific sectors of the industry.
The specific sectors include the design and manufacture of plastics injection moulds, sheet metal stamping dies, progressive dies, shoe moulds, electrode production and others.
These widespread product types are in turn to be found in a multitude of manufacturing industry sectors such as automotive, electronic, medical, white goods and aerospace.
The original Vero Software company was formed in Italy in 1988 by four engineers, each with many years of computer aided design and manufacturing experience.
The initial products were marketed under the VISI CAD and VISI CAM names to meet the increasing demands for advanced yet practical software solutions in the mechanical design and production environments.
The company firmly believes that step gains in productivity can be made by building as much knowledge of specific design and machining processes within it's software as possible.
This philosophy of productivity through specialisation has led to new applications in the design of mould tools for plastic injection and progressive dies.
The company has offices in Italy, England, Japan, France, Canada, USA and China.
VISI now has more than 15,000 users world-wide and over 1,000 Machining STRATEGIST users.
The group now has more than 6,000 users registered for its annual maintenance services and supplies products to more than 40 countries through its wholly owned subsidiaries and competence centres.
