EXCESS-HYBRID II is a CAD/CAM system for die design and manufacturing that incorporates our unique hybrid technology based on the concept of ‘More accurate in 3D design, faster in 2D design’. 2D and 3D data can be handled simultaneously in the same system, making it an effective CAD/CAM system for die design and manufacturing that involves trial and error.
Advanced 3D functions provide powerful support for upstream die design, such as the layout design of progressive press dies and the cavity core design of plastic dies. In addition, commercially available standard part data are incorporated in the die structure design, which allows the efficiency of die design work to be improved by following the conventional design method while enhancing the functions of conventional two-dimensional designs.
The EXCESS series started more than 30 years ago with 2D CAD exclusively for mold design. As you continue to develop the functionality, you will find a wealth of features to help you create drawings efficiently, including basic drawing commands as well as many useful sectioning and clearance and relief creation commands. Even after the evolution to EXCESS-HYBRID II, we have continued to add and enhance functions. For example, by adding geometric constraints that are useful in the geometry modification function, it has become possible to perform shape modifications in tandem.
Die manufacturing sites have various know-how on drawings to accurately transmit information. Includes six types of elements, including dimension notes, geometric elements, dimension lines, extension lines, leaders, and leader lines, enabling you to control the details of the dimension representation. Notes can have four types of elements: text, leaders, geometric elements, and annotation extension lines.
With EXCESS-HYBRID II, many of the drafting and drafting functions we have developed over the years can be used to efficiently create drawings that are based on company or vendor rules.
Equipped with advanced 3D modeling function
EXCESS-HYBRIDII is not derived from 2D CAD, but provides 3D modeling commands with full historical capabilities. Our unique hybrid technology enables you to work in two and 3D on the same screen and in the same operating system. It includes solid modeling capabilities such as extrude, revolve, and cut, as well as a variety of surfacing capabilities required to create a mold model from a product shape model.
Unlike the conventional EXCESS series, the EXCESS series offers many powerful features that enable the operator to deform the model without feeling uncomfortable, such as the 3D Curve command to create or modify a curved surface, the Create Curved Surface command to modify a curved surface, the Undercut Face check or the Create Draft Face function to create a plastic mold model, the Fill function, the Unfold function to allow spring back to create a press mold model, and the Likely Deformation function to allow the operator to deform the unfolded surface.
Mold & Die design function
Product data is now supplied in 3D, as is natural. Now that 3D data exists, why not use it to improve design efficiency?
3D design function is installed for layout design of progressive die design. A series of designs such as product shape recognition, bending development, process creation, cutting edge creation and matching, stage development, and intermediate shape capture can be carried out utilizing 3D visibility. In addition, in plastic mold design, 3D design functions such as cavity core surface extraction, parting surface creation and cavity core splitting are provided for cavity core design.
In the mold structure design, it is necessary to arrange all the parts and to operate them in a large amount if it is carried out in 3D, and there is a possibility that the number of parts increases and the performance as CAD deteriorates. By utilizing the advantages of 2D CAD rather than full 3D design, and by using notes and lists instead of drawing, it is possible to realize “More accurate in 3D design, faster in 2D design” through hybrid design in which design work is efficiently performed. Of course, it is equipped with press/plastic mold parts of MISUMI Group Inc. and mold base parts of FUTABA CORPORATION and Nippon Mold Material Co., Ltd. as standard, and it is possible to easily arrange commercially available parts. Another feature is the ability to separate parts using layers, which makes it possible to complete a part drawing without requiring a lot of work to develop it from a assembly drawing to a part.
