	Part Modeling - VISI-Modeling VISI-Modeling is true 3D free-form solid and surface modeling. with the ability to model parts just like high end systems – like CATIA, Unigraphics, and Pro/Engineer –  but faster, with less education, and at a lower cost.
	Core Box / Pattern Design – VISI-Series VISI-Mold is CAD design system specifically for designers of core boxes and pattens.  Using built-in constructors, parametrics and knowledge-based functions, VISI-Mold helps mold makers cut their delivery time in half, and cut engineering time and costs by one third.  Specific functions include draft analysis, shadow-line development, cope/drag surface splitting.
	Plate Machining – VISI-Machining 2D with MFR For machining die sets, nothing is faster than VISI-Machining with MFR (Manufacturing Feature Recognition).  It "reads" plate features (such as a 3/8" threaded hole) and generates its entire machining sequence (spot drill – tap drill – tap cycle – chamfer).  What it means is this – work is released to the shop immediately, NC programming labor is reduced to almost nothing, and rework is virtually eliminated by computer accuracy.
	Core and Cavity Machining – VISI-Machining 3D For machining cores and cavities, VISI-Machining 3D develops toolpaths directly on the design models from VISI-Mold without any translations.  Using advanced machining technologies like normal step-over, rest machining, ISO machining, and rest milling, VISI-Machining 3D is easier to learn – faster to program – runs faster on the CNC – and generates higher quality finishes.
	Plate Machining – VisualMill Basic There is no greater value for 2½D machining than VisualMill Basic.  Containing not only all standard 2D machining algorithms, it also includes basic 3D algorithms as well as re-machining and thread milling.  But what's really amazing is the price – $995.  Check this system out first to be sure you don't spend more than you need – you'll be surprised.
	Pattern Machining – VisualMill Advanced They're called new paradigm systems.  You saw what SolidWorks, Solid EDGE, Mechanical Desktop, and Inventor did to the 3D CAD market – that's what VisualMill has done to CAM.  It's all there – Z-roughing, plunge-roughing, constant-Z, parallel plane, pencil machining, radial and spiral cuts, and machining between edge curves – and it's all for $3,995 – there is no better value.
	Shop Floor Machining - machining STRATEGIST For core and cavity machining, nothing is more powerful than machining STRATEGIST as a shop floor solution when used behind customer supplied CAD systems such as CATIA, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, Solid EDGE, and more.
	CNC Utilities - editNC This valuable tool for CNC operators lets them read and edit G-code files, perform all manner of toolpath manipulations (such as renumbering, translation, rotation, and reformating), backplot toolpaths into wireframe graphics, and provide trickle-feeding of CNC controllers for as many serial ports as on the PC.
