veo
Design for Manufacturing
Product developers face a continuously growing challenge: meeting functional requirements as well as the demands of the manufacturing processes. For die-cast and injection-molded parts, physical prototypes or CAE simulations offer support – but often, designers need their feedback faster.
This is where veo comes in: a tool for fast, design-oriented validation of parts against the requirements of manufacturing processes. Easy handling and short calculation times mean problems are recognized earlier and optimizations become faster and more cost-efficient – detailed part insights, only one click away.
Beyond design departments, veo is increasingly used in technical purchasing at OEMs and suppliers, and by foundries to support their technical sales and RFQ processes.
What veo does
- Wall thickness analysis with colormaps, iso surfaces and histogram – calculated in just a few seconds
- Detection of local minima (minimum wall thickness) and maxima (shrinkage cavities, material accumulations)
- Projection of part geometry, e.g. to evaluate hold-down/clamping forces
- Calculation of geometric differences between development stages
- Tool surface analysis: tool halves, occlusion, draft angles
- Undercut calculation and slider concept analysis with demolding evaluation
- Automatic parting line detection or optimization of undercut volume
- Fillet analysis on inner and outer edges, detection of hard-to-manufacture small gaps
- Part properties: package size, volume, weight
- Customizable reports (including your company logo) and an exchange file to easily share complete analysis results
- Interfaces to all common CAD systems (CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, NX, Parasolid, STEP, JT)
Who is it for?
Design and validation of cast parts, technical purchasing at OEMs and suppliers, technical sales at foundries – wherever manufacturability needs to be checked early, quickly and reliably.
