Develop 3D reviews VISI 17

Download complete 3-part VISI review

Vero Software’s VISI product has been significantly reworked over the last few releases and the areas it covers have also been expanded. In the first of a three-part look at the system, Al Dean covers what’s new in VISI 17 for design

Vero is one of a rare breed of 3D technology vendors that focuses on one thing. Getting specific jobs done. Whilst other better known vendors develop generic tools that serve a huge, but highly horizontal slice of the 3D market, companies like Vero master the verticals and then expand outward.

Vero’s background is in preparation for manufacturing, whether that’s 3D design and simulation or mould and die design and NC programming. The company develops a huge range of tools that support tooling design, machining, progressive die development, 3-axis up to 5-axis machining and all points in between.

In recent years, Vero has redeveloped its range of systems to integrate new technology (such as VISI Flow for injection moulding simulation) and to bring its software up to speed. Today, VISI is a fresh and modern looking system that has some serious power beneath a very shiny exterior.

Extract quotes :
"For now, suffice to say that VISI has an incredible quantity of tools for adapting and fixing imported geometry, for modelling from scratch, or for making modifications for pre-manufacturing preparation. And while these tools have been within VISI for nearly two decades, the developers are doing sterling work to ensure that they are up to date, modern and fresh".

"VISI offers a quite bewildering array of technologies that covers a vast range of processes and tasks. Anyone that takes even the most cursory glance at what Vero has to offer for both design and manufacture should see that there’s huge potential to squeeze new levels of productivity from many areas of your organisation".

"VISI Flow is a natural compliment to the existing tools within the VISI product range - but it shouldn’t just be considered as a tool for existing VISI users. In fact, the system generated a lot of interest at the recent SolidWorks World event in the US - and in today’s global market, that means competitive advantage".
