- Deoderant Bottles

Alcan Packaging Group
FRESH LOOK FOR TRADITIONAL PACKAGING – Fibrenyle, a division of Alcan Packaging Group, recently used VX CAD/CAM software to create a dramatic new look for a group of deodorant bottles from prominent brand names such as Dove, Sure and Impulse. Fibrenyle relied on VX to produce the subtle contours and eye-catching tilted head that proved to be more practical and more aesthetically pleasing.

VX
- Electric Drill Assembly

VX
Among the powerful functions built into VX are advanced surfacing for exceptionally complex shapes, complete variable filleting with a single command, and enhanced interoperability between CAD systems with both manual and automatic healing of imported files, and direct translation of Pro/E, CATIA and Parasolid-formatted files.

- Ionic Capital

Wassmer Studios, L.L.C.
This is an ionic capital and column modeled similar to those at the Temple of Erechtheus on the Acropolis in Athens.
The entire part was modeled as components in VX. The palmetto design around the “neck” was scanned into a point cloud and surfaced in VX then exported to IGES.
Each part is being machined and assembled to make a complete wooden pattern.
From that we will create rubber molds for cast stone parts.
- Graphical CAM Interface

VX
NEW GRAPHICAL CAM INTERFACE IN VX CAD/CAM SPEEDS MANUFACTURING PLANNING – Directly integrated into VX software, a new graphical CAM interface provides a complete overview of the entire manufacturing process associated with a product design. Each element of the machining process is displayed in a single easy to understand hierarchical tree (left side of screen) and each element can be selected, moved, reordered and copied to provide complete control over the manufacturing process.

VX
VX software automates the creation of standard mold making components such as cooling channels, face vents, swabs, electrode placement and inserts, and checks for interference with the part, mold cavity or cooling elements. In addition, support for easily generating parting lines on complex curved surfaces has been added.
- VX Import

VX
VX CAD/CAM software supports direct import of Parasolid® -based files as well as Pro/E® and CATIA® files for operating in today's multi-vendor environments. The STEP and IGES interfaces in VX have also been enhanced to identify a larger amount of “smart geometry” created in other CAD systems. In the example shown here, a file imported through IGES has converted a large number of free-form IGES surface entities to completely recreate an imported solid model.

- VX Advanced Healing

VX
VX is the first mid-priced CAD/CAM system to offer both automated and manual inspection and repair of inaccurate geometry that often occurs when translating files from one CAD system to another. With the new VX healing functions, a user has the choice of automatically healing an imported file or stepping through a case by case examination of each trouble spot. Trouble spots are highlighted in red as shown in the wireframe model. For emphasis, yellow arrows have been added and the inset shows the healed component.
