software per stampi

[Iceman_79]

hi to everyone, I'm thinking about opening my mechanical design business, starting with the molds, which I have been doing for about 10 years using visicad of the real, with its cam and tebis.
Now, opening my office, I have to think that software to buy, certainly with those I'm using I would be performing right away, but maybe for a long time I could not go in other fields as instead I could do if I used caia for example or pro-e.
What do you recommend?
Thank you.

(I hope I posted my question on the correct forum. . )

Hello iceman,

Let us say that if you want to space a bit on other fields then it is advisable to evaluate the above mentioned ones, but it also depends on what budget you have available.
Did you get an idea, or do we say you brag in the dark?
and, uh, what other fields would you like to space? Do you have a more precise idea?

greetings

hi parametric_ozzy,

for the first moment of course I would go only on plastic molds, but I would not want to fossilize only on those, but at the moment I do not know what the market can allow me to do. We say that I could also rent it for 6 months, maximum allowed, which would allow me in the meantime to learn how to use another system.
As for the budget depends on the software, in the past I know that they had exorbitant prices (24 thousand euros a station nx), but now I do not know where the prices are, pro-and they say it is economic and functional, and on the same money it stands visi and I believe many others, the only ones outside the choir I think are caia and tebis.
if you have ideas and opinions I read them very gladly.

Thanks :finger:

I press that I am a pro/e retailer and in general of the whole ptc suite.

at the price level, it always depends on what you buy and which dealer you turn to.
a pro/e foundation costs 6'390 and if you don't do anything layering is enough, without having to buy the mold module.

But then you have to see if you plan and have a cam.
If you've never used pro/e,catia,nx, put a few training days on the budget, indispensable to be able to be operational in a short time and return the investment, regardless of the solution you choose in the future.

if you need any info regarding the suite of pro/e do not hesitate to ask me.

greetings

for automotive molds the dedicated package serves and whatever my choice I include it for sure.
the fact is that with an open system type catia and pro-e if I now make only plastic molds I have the package, if tomorrow I have to put myself that I know, to design ships, I would have lepotentiality to do it, while with a system as I lived I would be limited.
a cam at first would not need me though if I trust customers could be a choice to make, in case I would propend for tebis or machining strategist of the real, two software different from different prices.

 

[Parametric_Ozzy]

Surely the package can give a big hand and do well to incorporate it, but I guarantee that sometimes only with a little more method you can get out of the basic software functionality equal to those you have in the advanced modules and here I go against my interests.
In any case, speaking of pro/e is a very vertical solution, so at any time you can add or remove modules to suit the industry you want to face, remaining operational and above all competitive.

greetings

after the opinions on pro-e or I create that I would like to hear the opinions of those who use catia and nx, which in the past I have seen but never used.
the basis of all if I am not mistaken is parametric therefore the potential is more or less the same, but who has the best value for money?

This is my opinion:

to make molds (with specific module of course), all are fine.
the choice, I think you could do it based on the most used one among your potential customers.

of prices (here on the forum) do not come to the head. contact retailers and make an offer.


They're all parametric.

I agree with you on the prices.
for the most used a safe customer now uses toptron (which I don't even consider) and is evaluating whether to switch to catia, while another uses visi and a third nx. However, with the exchange of x_t files and stp the fact of using the same system is a little more unnecessary than a few years ago.
the 4 papal ones are: visi, creo/pro-e, nx and catia, and I think I have put them also in price scale

Hi.
I recommend you, if you want a great program of molds but that allows you to do many other things (from the cad/cam wood sector, to the progressive mold industry to the milling cam, turning, erosion, sheet .......) to see also topsolid with the mold module. if you want to visit the site and www.topsolid.it
