Tool DESIGN and Development

Machine Tool

Machine tools, ensuring, among other things, their high productivity and machining accuracy. The role of the modelling and simulation of operational properties in the state-of-the-art improvement of machine tools and the importance of increasing the precision of the latter taking into account the carried out process are discussed. Much attention is also given to the energy intensity of machine tools and machining processes from both the technical and economic point of view. In conclusions, expectations as to the further development of machine tools are formulated.

Solid Modeling – Conversion of 2D drawing to 3D Model
Edge Cam – Generates CNC code for turning Die milling
Procast – Mould flow simulation

Our Speciality

Tool design affects cost in several ways. First, it determines the tool life, which is how long the tool last before requiring a replacement. Second, it affects the quality of the product, and any cost of poor quality and rework costs, which adds into the total cost of the final product. Third, tool design can affect the cycle time a manufacturing process, which enables us to produce more or less units in a given time. For these reasons, it is important to understand the fundamentals of tool design.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Computer-aided design (CAD) is of immense importance when it comes to tool design and manufacturing. The use of CAD platforms has increased designers’ productivity, improved design quality and eased communication among various disciplines. CAD output is often in the form of electronic print and machining data (program/operation code). Tool designers utilize CAD in the same way as product designers, creating 3D models, 2D prints, and machine code to produce all types of tooling.
