MDTools 900 Series
VEST, Inc
MDTools is a 3D parametric intelligent manifold design software driven by a logical, hydraulic, and machining knowledge base. The powerful structured, visual, and analytical environment is linked to the schematics. Easily design complex, error-free manifolds working seamlessly within SOLIDWORKS.

MDTools is an advanced 3D parametric manifold design software. It enables quick and easy design of complex, error-free manifolds, and works seamlessly within the SOLIDWORKS environment.MDTools has been conceptualized to be driven by a logical, hydraulic, and machining knowledge base, not just geometrical considerations. The complete design process is linked to the schematics. The powerful structured, visual, and analytical environment enables you to systematically design manifolds with assured accuracy.
Features
- Powerful 3D visualization of manifold internals and connectivity using advanced parametric solid modeling
- Extensive footprint/cavity libraries with machining details covering both cartridge and interface valves of major OEMs
- Easy manifold connections
- Automated parametric color-coded cavities
- Automated dimensioning and bore chart
Benefits
- Speed — User achieves more in less time, reduces costs, and improves time-to-market
- Precision — Gets designs correct the first time; traditional methods are extremely error-prone
- Ease of use — User can focus on actual design using automated workflow functions and embedded manifold design methodology, rules and checks
- Parametrically links Microsoft® Visio® to SOLIDWORKS® and SOLIDWORKS® to MasterCAM®
- Parametrically links design to CAM manufacturing
