Case Study: Fondex SA achieves 60% faster design times and seamless 3D-to-CAD/CAM integration with Vero Software (VISI)

Fondex SA - Customer Case Study

Fondex SA, based in Cluses in the French Alps, is a specialist with over 50 years’ experience in stamping, deep drawing, machining and assembly, serving first-tier automotive suppliers and other industrial clients. When the industry moved to 3D tool design, Fondex needed a single, flexible solution to manage 3D data exchange, capture their deep-drawing know‑how and speed up design while retaining full control over progressive die methods.

Fondex selected VISI Progress for 3D tool design from Vero Software, an integrated CAD/CAM solution that combines hybrid solid/surface modelling with progressive-die automation. The software eliminated redraws and cut design time by 60%, enabled automatic flat-pattern generation, weight and blank calculations, and provided rapid prototyping compatibility and flexible post-design edits—improving daily operations, technical support and the company’s ability to deliver complete tooling and machining data to customers.
