Areas of focus
-
Extending mold lifespan
- Design approach focused on efficiently dissipating thermomechanical stress.
- Enhanced control of mold thermal management
-
Continuous improvement and simplification of ancillary devices
- Size reduction of active and passive air evacuation systems
- Size reduction of single and multiple squeeze pin systems
-
After casting operation design
- Deformation reduction systems
- Partition surfaces designed to obtain consistent trimming operations
- Definition of robust reference systems for machining/measuring
- Development of control gauging fixtures
-
Simulation for decision-making
- We continuously develop our Castle suite to provide designers with an optimal tool to support crucial design phase decisions
- We are developing a new proprietary software, Tangram, to simulate thermomechanical stress aiming to identify ideal fracture lines in the light of applying PuzzleDie® concept
-
Continuous improvement of mold manufacturing processes
- Constant collaboration with tool manufacturers
- Analysis of internal production data collected by the MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
-
New Hybrid LPF Process
Definition and development of a new production process positioned between low pressure and high pressure, aimed at producing components with mechanical properties comparable to forged parts
“Designing the mold is designing the process.”
