Bihler Softw@re bNX – The next generation – Technology Software for 3D design
Developing high quality products fast and economically is an essential challenge in today’s globalized world economy. In order to maintain their competitiveness, companies have to continuously improve their core process – the development of their products. Bihler Software bNX offers leading technical functions facilitating complex tasks required in various areas for development, analysis, manufacture, marketing and maintenance. Development of successful products cannot be left to chance. In the past it was very hard giving concrete information on the products’ performance, quality and appearance during the development process. Almost always expensive protoypes had to be manufactured. Thanks to the Technology Software bNX, processes can be analyzed, configured, designed and simulated when developing and designing punching and forming tools. Due to the virtual product development, which allows for verification in the run-up phase, development risks as well as development times can be reduced considerably.

Design for the entire product lifecycle
Manufacturing companies are driven by increasing pressure to develop innovative products in shorter time frames, while maintaining high levels of quality. Even with mature, capable 3D CAD technology, many companies have failed to significantly improve their design processes, and the benefits of lower costs and shorter cycle times remain elusive.
Transformation of product development begins with the design process, which fuels the entire product lifecycle – from simulation and analysis through tooling design, manufacturing, assembly, service and support.

Moldmakers were the first to use 3D CAD products, so their level of experience and knowledge of these products is unparalleled. Anyone working in the plastic injection mold sector is well aware of the benefits of using think3's design suite, which is well known in this environment thanks to its great potential and flexibility. Our long experience in this sector has borne fruit today with the development of a vertical solution which includes the tools needed to deal with a high level of productivity with the considerable work needed to design a plastic injection mold. MoldDesign is based on the ThinkDesign suite, which boasts well-known features such as hybrid modeling capable of managing solids and surfaces with absolute transparency, GSM³, a powerful creation/modification engine which allows work on the geometry in any of the product definition phases, and Interactive Solid Modeling (ISM), which allows modifications to be made to both native and imported solid models moving away from the necessarily parametric logic. MoldDesign's specific functions rely on this very powerful base.

PowerSHAPE provides a complete solution for both product design and toolmakers. Whereas designers are primarily concerned with the design of a finished product, often ignoring the features required for manufacturing, mold and toolmakers require a complete model. For instance, some designers rarely fillet the sharp edges of a model or produce the necessary draft and split surfaces. These time consuming and expensive operations are often left to the toolmaker to produce. With PowerSHAPE all these are made easy, while PowerSHAPE's powerful geometry creation tools ensure that the initial design can be completed quickly and efficiently.

Freeform Shape Modeling
NX Shape Studio is a tailored styling and industrial design package that offers the freedom and accuracy designers need to explore shapes and what-if styling in the conceptual modeling phase. By seamlessly integrating curve- and surface-based modeling, NX Shape Studio puts cutting-edge CAD tools into the hands of industrial designers. At the same time, the easy-to-use toolbox fosters innovation. These flexible tools, from drag-and-drop templates to dynamic construction, enable fast, easy creation and evaluation of design alternatives while providing real-time visual feedback. And there's no worry about changes or iterations, as associativity takes care of downstream data integrity.
With Shape Studio, designers can use practically any approach or modeling technique. For example, the designer might begin modeling by using standard parametric design techniques that employ curve-driven geometry. Then, when creating contours and integrating ergonomics, the designer might use freeform techniques. Or the designer could begin modeling without precise definitions, adding geometric constraints later. Construction geometry and style details can be rapidly generated by the dynamic mapping of 3D curves onto freeform shapes. Or surfaces can be constructed using pre-set combinations of section and guide curves, with the designer monitoring impact as it occurs.
All model data transfers directly downstream. And the fully associative database ensures that any changes are automatically updated in related applications such as engineering design, assembly, drafting, simulation, and manufacturing.

Machine Complex Free-Form Shapes with Ease
ESPRIT's NURBS-based machining engine handles fabricating difficult free-form shapes with ease. Specifically designed to address the 3D challenges in the mold, die, and toolmaking markets, ESPRIT provides you with a powerful set of tools and machining cycles for free-form roughing, Z-level machining, finishing, and re-machining in 3-axis or 5-axis.
5-axis Free-Form Machining
Machining complex 3D parts in a single setup is easy with the powerful ESPRIT CAM system. ESPRIT streamlines programming and provides dynamic onscreen program verification, eliminating the need for expensive machine-tool dry runs. For 5-axis finishing, ESPRIT gives you a full range of options, including planar, normal, transitional, parametric, and offset styles. Program your 3D 5-axis machine cycles with ESPRIT and benefit from the superior surface quality, part accuracy, and material removal rates provided by today's multi-axis machine tools.
High-Speed Machining
ESPRIT's high-speed machining (HSM) functionality is built into all its machining cycles allowing you to cut hardened materials in minimal time while maintaining constant loads on cutting tools utilizing the smooth, continuous movements so critical in 3D HSM. Your choices include sharp corner smoothing, loop-style bridge movements, ramp and helical entry into material, spiral-style cutting with constant overlaps, tangency entry, and constant Z-level cutting. HSM optimization for NURBS, spline-curve and arc-optimized G-code output is built into ESPRIT's universal post processor.
Z-Level Machining
ESPRIT's Z-level machining cycle automatically maintains constant loads on cutting tools for smooth, continuous high-speed toolpaths. When creating a Z-level finishing operation you have the option to machine the entire part or selectively machine only vertical or horizontal areas. When machining the entire part you can choose to cut the vertical and horizontal areas with different tools and use both roughing and finishing options.
