Siemens PLM Software 2D DCM and Vero VISI Progress software integration

Siemens PLM Software and Vero Software PLC, a provider of CAD, CAM and CAE solutions for the tooling industry, have announced the integration of the D-Cubed software 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager (2D DCM) component from Siemens PLM Software in Vero’s VISI Progress software.

VISI Progress, part of Vero’s VISI suite of applications for the mould and die industries, is a dedicated solution for the metal stamping industry, enabling efficient design of progressive dies and press tools. Progressive stamping is the process of creating parts by starting with a strip of metal and then, in progressive steps, applying a series of operations such as coining, punching and bending. VISI Progress enables the 3D modelling of the dies and strip at each step in the process from blank to finished component.

The integration of the D-Cubed 2D DCM into version 17 of VISI Progress helps to ensure the complex relationships in a model are accurately maintained when modifications to the strip layout parameters are made. The user can make changes to the step length and strip width and VISI Progress will automatically update the previously constructed punch geometry and rebuild the strip. This integration joins Vero’s existing implementation of the D-Cubed 2D DCM inside VISI Parametric Page (formerly VISI Storyboard).
