What Hexagon VISI is

Hexagon VISI is CAD/CAE/CAM software for designing, analyzing, and validating moulds and dies, particularly for plastic injection tooling. Its tools cover complex 3D modeling, electrode design, progressive die development, 3D data repair, and sheet-metal unfolding. VISI Mold supports 3D mould creation with parametric controls and standard libraries, while VISI Flow analyzes injection moulding flow. VISI Machining creates toolpaths for complex 3D parts and generates NC code using high-speed milling techniques and smoothing algorithms. The software uses hybrid modeling and includes assembly design, sheet-metal tools, surface modeling, multiresolution and voxel sculpting, and texture painting. It supports Windows 11 Professional 64-bit and lists 4 GB RAM as the minimum memory requirement. It imports a range of formats, including ACIS, CATIA V4/V5, STL, PLY, DXF/DWG, IGES, STEP, Inventor, NX, SolidWorks, Parasolid, and Creo; export formats include 3D PDF, ACIS, CATIA V5, STL, STEP, and others. VISI 2026.2 lists updates to modeling, unfolding, VISI-Blank, CAM, and Wire EDM workflows. Pricing is on request.
