Mechanical designers can get up-close segmented and internal views of parts and assemblies with the new dynamic clipping planes tool in VX CAD/CAM Version 1 .

MELBOURNE, FL, Jan 18, 2008 - VX Corporation, specializing in CAD/CAM for consumer products and molds, announces availability of VX Version 1 . This version contains an unprecedented number of enhancements that continues to strengthen VX's position in the product design and mold & die markets.

Most Important and Innovative Release in VX History

With nearly a thousand customer and market driven enhancements, most of which provide dramatic productivity gains and new capabilities, Version 1 promises to be one of the most important, innovative releases in VX history.

Product designers will benefit from a new filleting engine that helps them get more ''style'' into products. Product designers will also realize increased productivity gains for adding digital images to products with the enhanced embossing tool that automatically smooth out irregular surfaces. A new capability for branding and packaging is where text can be made to follow a circle or spline curve where the text floats above the curve as the curve's profile changes and optionally stretches or shrinks as the curve length changes. This allows manufacturers to quickly and easily add company and other information to complex shaped products and containers. Another performance enhancement for designers is the ability to model with real-time ysis thus giving instant feedback on aspects such as curvature and draft angles.

Other features to help product designers visualize new products are a new photo-realistic rendering engine that brings an ''industrial design'' level of rendering to VX. Likewise, textured objects, also new for Version 1 , lets designers get real-time realistic views of products while they're being designed.

Mechanical designers will benefit from motion simulation where animations can be created for studying moving parts in assemblies. Moreover, assembly interference can be visually checked with dynamic clipping offering up-close segmented and internal views of parts and assemblies.

Mechanical designers can now get section views on layouts with different hatching options that provide a much better view of assemblies without a lot of manual editing. Mold designers will now be able to design electrodes faster with the auto-electrode tool that speeds creation and machining of multiple electrodes. Automatic region recognition for picking connected sets of faces speeds electrode design by reducing the number of picks to just a few for complex electrodes with many surfaces.

Enhancements to VX's QuickMill for mold machining include new SmoothFlow technology that ensures smooth finishes for reducing polishing time while maximizing machine tool efficiency and reducing machine wear and tear. Other CAM enhancements include Offset D Feature Aware Machining where tool path motion is automatically adjusted to preserve fine sharp edged detail; Variable Z Level machining for containment of simple tool paths for better finishes with no wasted motions; and XML output to help streamline shopfloor communication.

"VX Version 1 is an astounding release that provides tremendous productivity enhancements and new capabilities to product designers and mold makers, " says Bob Fischer, VX Vice President Sales and Marketing, "Version 1 is certainly one of the most important and innovative releases in our history."
