VX Designer for advanced 3D design
VX Designer includes all the advanced design modules of
the VX product family. This offers an effective modeling tool
without compromise. Integrated solid/surface modeling
makes it possible for engineers to take advantage of the
speed of solid modeling and the flexibility of true Class A
surface modeling. With hybrid modeling you can handle
solids and surfaces seamlessly in the same environment.
With VX, it's also incredibly easy to sketch 2D shapes. Our
Quick Draw function produces all common geometry with a
single command and can be automatically dimensioned and
constrained as it's created. VX burst technology helps create
and manage assemblies by cloning any number of parts from
other assemblies. Model healing, standard CAD formats, and
VX PDM are just some of the additional modules that make
this a very strong design package.
Features and benefits
* Hybrid solid and surfaces modeling kernel.
* Advanced solid modeling.
* Advanced surface modeling.
* Advanced assembly modeling.
* Model healing.
* Industry standard CAD formats support.
* PARTsolutions interface.
* SmarTeam integration.

VX Software Suites

Integrated mold and die design
Product description
VX Mold & Die includes an easy to use utility for automatically
creating parting lines and faces. VX Mold & Die also handles
inserts, cooling channels, connectors and ejector pins. As with
parting lines, VX can automate core cavity removal. Unlike other
systems, a couple of quick mouse clicks handles the entire
process. VX is the only CAD/CAM system to offer reverse
engineering tools in the core system. With the electrode wizard,
VX speeds creation of the mold electrode that automatically
handles electrode offset. Our unique planar option burns the
electrode up to 40 percent faster than other methods. This
provides for a very strong combination for all those that design
complex molds and dies.
Features and benefits
* Hybrid solid and surfaces modeling kernel.
* Advanced solid modeling.
* Advanced surface modeling.
* Advanced assembly modeling.
* Model healing.
* Industry standard CAD formats support.
* PARTsolutions interface.
* SmarTeam integration.
* Mold and Die module.

Integrated 3D design and advanced CAM
Product description
VX Machinist provides a complete overview of the entire
manufacturing process associated with a product design. The
included CAM modules are not 3rd party solutions or external
modules; they are seamlessly integrated with the hybrid modeling
kernel and take full advantage of its characteristics. QuickMill offers
dramatic speed and tool path improvements for mold and die
machining applications - yet has exceptional ease of use to
minimize training and support. VX supports a full range of material
handling and cutting techniques to allow complex milling in 3D.
The 2 Axis milling Tactic provides a rich set of tool paths for rough
stock removal and surface finishing. It also provides the means for
the operator to make holes or cut access holes with drills or mill
tools. 3 Axis milling provides several families of tool paths based
on different algorithms for positioning the tool. Because of VX's
ability to maintain complete associativity and synchronization with
the 3D product model the manufacturing information can be
updated directly from the design data. Process definition and NC
programming can begin sooner and design changes are much
easier to accommodate. The result is increased productivity and
improved quality.
Features and benefits
* VX QuickMilling
* Hybrid solid and surfaces modeling kernel.
* Templates to automate tool path generation.
* Entry level solid and surface modeling.
* Powerful layout, drafting and detailing.
* Model healing.
* Industry standard CAD formats support.
* 2½ and 3 axis milling.
* Automatic hole making.
* Machine works verification.
* ASCII CL or G-code output.

Fully loaded design and manufacturing package
Product description
The End-to-End configuration of VX includes all the design and
manufacturing modules for those that need a no compromise
solution. This configuration includes advanced modeling,
