Vero Software has introduced an interface that allows bills of materials (BOM) from Visi Mould to be imported directly into WorkPlan. WorkPlan configures an imported model in correlation with the file exported from Visi Mould, automatically importing the complete bill of materials tree structure.
The Visi Mould/WorkPlan interface means users can quickly produce accurate, competitive quotes in response to their customers, especially regarding raw materials, standard elements and stock supply management, while projects and their costs can be fully controlled.
Data from any CAD application can be imported into WorkPlan. The modules are adapted for custom manufacturing for a wide range of industries including aerospace, nuclear, mould making, precision parts design, rapid prototyping, metal constructions and specialist machinery. Its flexibility allows users to implement only those modules necessary for their specific activity."
For its part, Visi Mould is capable of exporting the required data in csv format. With a full range of CAD interfaces, it can directly open files from applications such as Parasolid, IGES, Catia V4 & V5, Pro-E and Step.
