CAD automation boosts design efficiency by streamlining workflows, cutting lead times, enhancing collaboration, and ensuring quality in mold design.

CAD automation for greater design efficiency

Reduce lead times and improve process stability while maintaining control over quality and delivery.

By analyzing your mold design processes, we can work together to identify where design tasks can be simplified, collaboration can be improved, and lead times can be shortened without disrupting your existing workflows.

Problem

How valuable time, process stability, and profits can be lost

Inefficient workflows and disconnected processes can increase costs, extend lead times, and create unnecessary risk throughout the mold development process.

Longer cycle times and higher production costs

Cooling channels that are not optimally designed can increase cycle times, which in turn reduces output and raises part costs.

Part distortion and springback

Dimensional deviations can lead to repeated adjustments, engineering rework, and unnecessary communication cycles.

Lack of data continuity between CAD and CAM

Limited associativity between systems creates opportunities for errors, redundant tasks, and data inconsistencies.

Manual verification processes

Collisions and other major design issues are often discovered late in the process, disrupting schedules and demanding extra engineering effort.

Increasing cost pressure

Manufacturers are expected to improve performance while managing increasing product complexity and tighter delivery schedules.

Cimatron as an integrated mold design solution

Cimatron improves process continuity and helps manage design changes with an integrated approach to mold design and manufacturing.

Inefficient workflows and unstable processes waste time, reduce margins, and undermine performance.

CAD, CAM, and electrode design from a single data source

Reduce handoffs, eliminate unnecessary interfaces, and minimize process inefficiencies.

Hybrid CAD for maximum flexibility

Combine parametric and direct modeling techniques to support different design requirements and engineering workflows.

Parametric logic for design reuse and change management

Implement structured modifications without introducing uncontrolled downstream changes.

Reduced verification and coordination effort

Identify collisions earlier and improve process handoffs to reduce engineering overhead.

Are you ready?

Process analysis can be especially valuable if you:

1. Manage design changes throughout mold projects

2. Face challenges related to cycle time, part distortion, or quality

3. Use CAD, CAM, CAE, and MES systems, but lack true process continuity

4. Want to establish a shared data foundation between engineering and manufacturing

This analysis helps identify inefficiencies and make better decisions to improve performance.
