VISI Mould Design
VISI Module
What is VISI Mould Design?
VISI Mould Design from HEXAGON is a comprehensive CAD/CAE solution for automating the entire mould tool development process—empowering toolmakers with the tools needed to advance from part design and feasibility analysis to tool assembly, detailing, and manufacturing within a unified environment. It’s purpose-built for the mould industry, combining true hybrid modelling, validation, library-driven component selection, and seamless links to manufacturing.
VISI Mould Design
Key Features
- Automatic Recognition of Design Changes: Instantly detect and highlight part changes with associative tool updating, eliminating costly errors downstream.
- Draft Angle Visualization: Visually verify undercut and non-drafted regions early, ensuring parts are mouldable and optimized before tool design.
- Multiple Split Line Calculations: Generate, visualize, and interactively customize part split lines—essential for separating core, cavity, and complex side actions.
- Core & Cavity Model Separation: Easily split imported models into their relevant tooling zones or dynamic 3D assemblies, including undercuts and slides.
- Dynamic 3D Tool Design: Create, configure, and modify mould assemblies in real time using parametric methods and standard catalog components.
- Customizable Supplier Catalogues: Access libraries from global leaders (Hasco, DME, Futaba, Meusburger, Strack, and more) for fast, standards-driven tool builds.
- Intelligent Component Editing: Components adapt to assembly changes—screws, pins, and lifters automatically resize to match the tool layout and rules.
- Slides, Lifters, & Advanced Side Actions: Quickly engineer side actions, flexible up-and-away units, and lifters, dynamically linked to the 3D cavity and undercuts.
- 3D Cooling with Collision Checks: Design cooling channels using dedicated wizards, ensuring no interference with tool elements and maximizing heat extraction.
- Associative Tool Detailing: Generate fully editable 2D and isometric drawings with automatic dimensions, part lists, and synchronized updates if the 3D tool changes.
- Automatic B.O.M. Creation: Instantly produce parts lists with balloon references, ready for purchasing and downstream logistics.
- Seamless Link to Manufacturing: Maintain consistent data from design through feature-recognition CNC programming, drilling, and advanced VISI Machining toolpaths.
Hybrid Modelling & Data Flexibility
- Combine solid, surface, and wireframe technologies for powerful, unrestricted tool design.
- Intuitive healing for imported CAD, with automated sliver face detection/removal and robust support for all major formats (Parasolid, IGES, CATIA, STEP, SolidWorks, NX, Creo, and more).
- Easily manage customer data—even for large, complex files or inconsistent geometries.
Model Validation & Preparation
- Draft analysis, sliver face management, and redundant geometry identification ensure every model is ready for tooling.
- Early detection of manufacturability issues saves huge time and cost downstream.
Advanced Split Line and Parting Face Tools
- Create and fine-tune split lines and complicated parting faces with a visual, interactive interface.
- Combine automatically generated curves/surfaces with custom editing for optimal core/cavity definition.
Automated Tool Assembly & Component Intelligence
- Parametric assemblies using standard catalogues for fast, accurate construction.
- Rule-based updates: changes to plate sizes or tool parameters instantly adapt all linked components.
Cooling System Integration
- Design advanced cooling circuits with collision and proximity checks.
- Export cooling templates for reuse and adapt them automatically for different bolster sizes.
Tool Detailing & 2D Documentation
- Generate all drawings, including section views and parts lists, directly from the 3D tool—fully linked for error-free updates.
Integrated Manufacturing
- Direct link to CNC: drilled holes, apertures, and machining features are recognized and processed using optimal toolpaths (including 3D and 5-axis).
- Ensures true concurrent engineering: every step, from design to tool manufacturing, is handled in one environment.
