VX Introduces Mold Design Automation at EuroMold
-- Smart features automate mold assembly and manufacturing procedures --
Palm Bay, Florida - November 14, 2006 - VX Corporation, the pioneering developer of advanced CAD/CAM solutions for engineers, designers and CNC programmers, will introduce VX CAD/CAM's new mold automation design suite at EuroMold in Frankfurt Germany, November 29 - December 2, 2006.
From plastic part to finished mold assembly...
VX chose EuroMold for unveiling the new mold automation design suite because EuroMold offers a unique venue to communicate with industrial designers, product developers, producers and mold-makers. One of the most important goals for CAD automation is to provide software that speeds the development and production of new products. To accomplish this, VX uses intelligent modeling features with integrated manufacturing and built-in plastic processing know-how.
The VX mold automation design suite blends VX Mold & Die hybrid modeling with Lib3D, a library of smart components for creating intelligent mold assemblies with parametric cooling channels, sliders and ejectors, all of which are accessed through an intuitive interface fashioned specifically for the mold design process. With Lib3D smart components, users can select components for mold assemblies such as fasteners to a series of plates, and VX automatically calculates the required length, clearances and manufacturing methods.
"Through high-speed data import, built-in mold tools, smart components and integrated mold machining, VX has closed the gap between industrial design, product design and mold making" said Bob Fischer, VX VP Product Management and Business Development.
