VISI Blank
What is VISI Blank?
VISI Blank by HEXAGON is an automated solution for developing 2D sheet metal blanks from complex 3D models. Designed for estimators, engineers, product designers, and tool & die makers, VISI Blank streamlines the production process by optimizing blank layouts, predicting material behavior, and providing rapid, highly accurate flat pattern developments for manufacturing.
Key Features
- Quick, Graphical Blank Development: Instantly flatten virtually any 3D form to create a developed blank, ensuring optimal stock material usage and reducing the need for supplementary operations.
- Easy-to-Use Interface: The intuitive, simple-to-learn interface allows users at any skill level to generate blank forms and interpret analysis results quickly.
- Comprehensive Material Database: Analyze a wide variety of materials with a built-in, extensive material database.
- Advanced Material Behavior Analysis: Get clear visual representation of potential thinning and wrinkling areas, using color-coded graphics to spot where the material is within tolerance or at risk.
- Accurate, Reliable Results: Produces blanks proven to be within 1% accuracy of the finished component, saving hours compared to manual or traditional CAD approaches.
- HTML Report Output: Results can be exported as clear, concise reports for documentation and downstream use.
- Blank Surface Export: Enables the export of blank development surfaces for seamless integration with downstream CAD/CAM or manufacturing systems.
- Highly Graphical Analysis: Visual tools make it easy to interpret and communicate results between design, estimation, and production teams.
Benefits
- Faster Time to Quote and Manufacture: Achieve quick blank representations in minutes, streamlining estimation, design modification, and engineering workflows.
- Enhanced Cost Control: Accurately determine material costs and identify potential manufacturing issues or areas needing design changes to lower overall costs.
- Improved Manufacturing Quality: By visualizing areas likely to thin or wrinkle, users can proactively resolve issues—reducing rework and the risk of scrap.
- Supports Complex Geometries: Handles virtually any 3D shape, supporting the rapid development of even the most intricate sheet metal components.
- Optimized for Multiple Roles: From cost estimators to toolmakers, everyone benefits—supporting everything from quick quoting to advanced tool design.
