VX CAD/CAM Selected for New Programs @ EIT
VX Corporation, specializing in CAD/CAM for plastic products and molds, announces that VX CAD/CM has been selected by the Erie Institute of Technology for use in their new manufacturing and technology programs.  

“VX CAD/CAM will have a big impact on our mold design and mold making programs. With VX mold design software, students will learn how to import models, fix undercuts, gaps and poorly defined draft angles while realizing the advantages of using software with built-in plastic processing know-how for generating parting lines and core/cavities,” said Kit Carson, the manufacturing and technology program director.

“For machining molds, VX’s QuickMill will help students learn roughing and advanced finishing techniques, how to optimize machine tool utilization for reducing wear and tear, and how to produce high quality finished molds that minimize polishing time.”  

 “Since VX has such a short ramp-up time for getting started, students are able to focus much more of their time on learning good design engineering and machining  practices as opposed to having to spend an inordinate amount of time learning the software.” said Bob Fischer, VX VP of Sales and Marketing. “The beauty of VX in an educational setting is that design students get an exposure to manufacturing practices while manufacturing students get an exposure to the design process all within one software package, and this ultimately increases the value of the students to the work force.”
