Case Study: DeCore Tool & Manufacturing achieves faster, more accurate progressive die design with Vero Software's VISI

VISI helps DeCore Tool & Manufacturing design with ease

DeCore Tool & Manufacturing is a family-run tool and die shop in Carol Stream, Illinois, that produces progressive dies for automotive and other industries. Facing a shift from 2D to 3D work, the company needed an efficient, flexible CAD/CAM solution that could reliably import diverse customer models, support reverse engineering and strip design, and reduce press-time errors.

The company adopted VISI CAD/CAM (with training and support from TST), using its robust translators, unfolding/strip study tools and collision detection to build and validate progressive dies. The result was faster, more accurate design workflows, easier manipulation of imported solids, fewer press errors and measurable time savings—allowing even a relatively new designer to produce full dies after minimal training.
