Singapore, 7 November 2008 – Manusoft Technologies today unveiled IMOLD V9, the latest version with new and exciting user driven enhancements of its leading Computer-aided Mold Design (CAMD) software, IMOLD.

IMOLD V9 aims to bridge the gaps between mold design and manufacturing through its new functions. With the new version release, Manusoft also introduces a new IMOLD product matrix to its current product package offering:

IMOLD EDM automates the electrode design process as well as assisting the manufacturing of detailed and hard-to-machine features on molds and press tools. “With the increasing complexity and also miniaturization of the plastic parts, innovative mold manufacturing technologies like Electro-Discharge Machining (EDM) and micro-EDM have become more and more important.” said C.H. Chiang, MD Manusoft Technologies.

IMOLD V9 is not only SolidWorks 2009 ready but both 32 and 64 bit ready which, is yet another solid demonstration of Manusoft’s intent to ensure that it is ahead of competition. Beyond the label and specifications, IMOLD V9 is engineered to reduce design time of mold designers worldwide with its significant improvement in all round performance and help reduce carbon footprints by getting the molds right – before it is built.

Other significant enhancements in IMOLD V9 include such areas as 1-Click splitting, Hole Pocket color tagging/tolerance, and others. For full details on the new features and enhancements, please refer to What's New in IMOLD V9.
