Steps
production

Each operative process, from the offer to the delivery of the mold, is carried out by acomputer system which allows ajust in time monitoring of the order status. Thanks to this we are able to have full control on the delivery time.

Step

1

Tool & Part design

Product industrialization, we work together with the customer to create the best final result.

3D design during the different steps, we continue working side by side with the customer. Each mold is equipped with its own “Technical Book”, containing complete information about its application and the certificates regarding the material used and the treatments performed.

Software CAD
CAM, Catia, Unigraphics NX, PTC, Cimatron

 

Co-design activities to realize components using HPDC.

Manufacturing of dies with advanced features:
• vacuum
• squeeze pin
• jet cooling
• conformal cooling

FEM Analysis, Simulations,
Tool Virtualization to predict its useful life.

Virtualization of the Die Casting Process (TPV).

CNC MACHINING

Precision manufacturingwith cutting edge machines with3 or 5 axis.
Zero point clamping systems in every CNC machine. All technical parameters of the cutting tools are set by our CAM department.

5 milling machines with 5 axis

(max.stroke 3800×1200)

3 milling machines with 3 axis

(max.stroke 2100×770)

1 deep drilling machine

(max.stroke 800×800)

3 spark erosion machines

1 wire erosion machine

Advanced co-design allows us to realize elements with complex profiles. In-house manufacturing of the electrodes.
