Press Release Summary:
Designed to aid in design of plastic products, VX® CAD/CAM solution comes with network of ribs tool that accelerates task of adding stiffener/support ribs to 3D models. Users sketch 2D lines representing position and pitch of required ribs, and command automatically fleshes-out this sparse data to produce rib structure joined to model. While ribs can be resized or totally redefined, material thickness and draft allowance angle are user-controlled and may be adjusted at any time.

New VX CAD/CAM Network of Ribs Tool
-- New tool speeds design for plastic products --
PALM BAY, Florida. - April 18, 2006 - VX Corporation, the pioneering developer of advanced, integrated CAD/CAM solutions for engineers and industrial designers, announces availability of the new network of ribs tool that dramatically speeds up the task of adding stiffener/support ribs to 3D models.
Time Saver for 3D Moldings/Castings Design
The network of ribs tool speeds up the laborious but essential task of defining stiffening and support ribs on 3D models. The new tool compliments existing functionality and gives VX® users a rich choice of methods to apply. The user input has been minimized to make creation of ribs quick and simple.
Using the new tool could not be easier. Users sketch 2D lines representing the position and pitch of the required ribs. The command then automatically fleshes-out this sparse data to produce a rib structure joined to the model.
Bob Fischer, VX vice president, sales and marketing said "The material thickness and draft allowance angle are user-controlled and may be adjusted at any time. The ribs can be resized or totally redefined quickly and easily should surrounding features be parametrically modified. All in all, another excellent VX time saver".
