Manifold design software
MDTools 900 series is an advanced
3D parametric manifold design
software that works seamlessly within
the SolidWorks environment. It offers a tooling knowledge database,
materials database, and OEM-specific
cavity libraries for cartridge and
interface valves. It is driven by logical,
hydraulic, and machining knowledge
not just geometrical considerations.
The complete design process is linked
to the schematics.
