Hexagon VISI · Stockholm, Sweden · founded 1992
What it is
Hexagon VISI is CAD/CAE/CAM software for designing, analysing, and validating moulds and dies, particularly plastic injection tooling. Its applications support complex 3D modelling, electrode design, progressive die development, 3D data repair, and sheet-metal unfolding. VISI Mold creates 3D moulds with parametric controls and standard libraries, while VISI Flow analyses injection-moulding flow. VISI Machining creates toolpaths for complex 3D parts and produces NC code using high-speed milling and smoothing algorithms. The software uses hybrid modelling and includes assembly design, sheet-metal tools, surface modelling, multiresolution and voxel sculpting, and texture painting. It runs on Windows 11 Professional 64-bit and specifies 4 GB RAM minimum. Numerous CAD formats can be imported and exported. VISI 2026.2 lists modelling, unfolding, VISI-Blank, CAM, and Wire EDM workflow changes. Pricing is on request. Hexagon VISI is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
