The combination of mold design with VISI, and WORKNC driving a 3-axis Hurco VMX machining center along with a Hurco Hawk and XYZ bed mills, means that everything Sharnold produces is within the required tolerances…sometimes down to + or – 0.05 of a mm. VISI has speeded up the whole design process considerably.” For example, producing split lines is much easier, as is slide generation. It’s now simple to achieve aspects that we struggled with before. “CAD designers are producing increasingly more complex parts, but VISI gives us the ability to meet those demands quickly and easily. “It’s already proving to be vital for us,” says Mark Chapman. While they have used WORKNC, from Vero Software, to machine their molds for at least 15 years, VISI…also from the Vero stable…is a relatively new investment. The machines mean the company has a locking force of between 22 and 100 tonnes, giving them the ability to supply molded plastic parts up to 230 grams. While making tools for plastic injection molders remains an important part of their business, they set up their own molding operation in 2000, and now have seven molding machines – two Boys, two Battenfelds and three Arburgs. Maurice bought into the business in 1982, eventually taking sole ownership. Nowadays it is run by just four people: Maurice Chapman, his two sons Mark and Stephen, and Stephen’s wife Tracy. The company was established as a subcontract mold maker in 1957, moving to their current 3,500 square foot premises in Northamptonshire, in 1970 with ten employees. Mark Chapman, Company Secretary and Moldmaker ![]() Designing their molds in VISI, and machining them with toolpaths generated by WORKNC, ensures that the tight tolerances they need to achieve are met first time, every time. Those are the words of Mark Chapman, company secretary and moldmaker at family-run business Sharnold Ltd. But when we invested in VISI that immediately came down to a couple of days. “Some complex mold tools used to take me nearly a week to design. – And WORKNC Machining Code Is Ready In Moments ![]()
