Fast calculation time, quick results and a good price-performance ratio: in a survey, customers of Visiometa GmbH gave their feedback on the company's software which also calls "Visiometa". How customers rate the software, the special value they see in it, and how Visiometa differs from comparable software programs: all this in this article.
Due to the variety of molding and casting processes, the range of casting materials and the abundance of possible casting designs, there is no globally casting-compatible geometry. The Visiometa software supports casting designer and casters in quickly and individually planning a casting mold and designing the customer's geometry to be suitable for casting.
First customer survey on Visiometa software
Last month, Visiometa GmbH conducted its first customer survey on its Visiometa software. The survey was a standardized questionnaire that was sent to well-known customers. The results of the survey reflect what Visiometa promises: a software with fast calculation times, quick results, simple operation and a good price-performance ratio.
The most impressive features of the software for customers
Customers were most impressed by the quick assessment of complex geometries, the fast calculation of the modulus analysis and the accuracy of theory to practice: the result of the calculation is close to the real casting. Other features and functions that were rated positively were networking, module analysis, geometric analysis, material database and sculpting.
The special value that customers see in the software
Most customers see the special value of Visiometa in the time saved in planning and analysis, shorter start-up times for projects, a casting-compatible design during the development phase as well as optimized scrap reduction and expansion of know-how. All this leads finally to greater transparency and better communication.
How often and for what purpose the software is used
The software is mainly used in casting design, process planning and optimization as well as in quotation calculation. Most customers stated that they use the software on a weekly basis. The majority of them encountered Visiometa through recommendations, but above all through personal contact with Urs Brandenburger, Chief Engineer, and Ralf Gerke-Cantow, Managing Director of Visiometa.
Recommendation rate of 100 percent
Visiometa's recommendation rate in the survey was 100 percent. In terms of software optimization, customers requested simplified or extended mould filling, a cyclical simulation and a manually adjustable starting temperature curve across the geometry.
High praise for the support provided by the Visiometa team
High praise was given to the service and support provided by the Visiometa team, which most customers rated as 'good' or 'very good'. Ralf Gerke-Cantow, Managing Director, and Urs Brandenburger, Chief Engineer, were very satisfied with the results of the survey: “With Visiometa, we have developed a software that is designed to help our customers move forward. And it does this exactly at the moment when other, comparable software fails.” Hence, the slogan: Visiometa - not another simulation software.
About Visiometa GmbH
Visiometa GmbH is a German technology company with the objective to further the development of the foundry industry through innovation. Through virtual engineering for metal mold casting, Visiometa combines foundry technology with process-specific design and fast validation in one software.
The Visiometa software is designed to enable a fast and reliable planning of a casting mold. This requires the visualization of the expected solidification process in the shortest possible time. The solution is a model that produces the same quality as a temperature field calculation but can be calculated much faster: the Visiometa software.
Through continuous development of the software by the Visiometa team, which consists of an interdisciplinary collaboration of engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists, Visiometa contributes to increase the efficiency, sustainability and success of its customers.
Convince yourself!
Within seconds and without any special prior knowledge, a Visiometa user can generate a three-dimensional image of the solidification modulus based on the geometric properties of the casting. The solidification modulus is proportional to the local solidification time and helps easily to identify the risk of shrinkage cavities.
