Winning CAD Solutions for Projects Large & Small
Optimize Toolmaking and High-Speed Machining
Pro/TOOLMAKER offers the power of high-speed machining for toolmaking, prototypes, and other precision machining applications, with a fast, easy-to-use, NC toolpath programming application. Manufacturing engineers and machinists now have the most powerful package of NC programming capabilities, including NC post-processing and tooling libraries, in a single, stand-alone product package. With Pro/TOOLMAKER, manufacturing engineers can work with data from any CAD system, create associative NC toolpaths directly from CAD models, and leverage concurrent engineering.
Create Complex Tooling Quickly
Core and cavity design
Product design complexity is often over-shadowed by that required of the mold. Pro/ENGINEER Tool Design can create even the most complex single- and multiple-cavity molds. A process-driven workflow guides the user through each step. Automated parting surface creation and automated splitting make it easy for even the occasional user to create complex tooling quickly.
Capabilities & Benefits:
Pro/ENGINEER Progressive Die
Fast progressive die design
Tooling development for progressive dies is best approached with a purpose-built solution. With Pro/ENGINEER Progressive Die software, easy-to-use wizards guide the user through automatic strip layout definition, cut stamp creation, and placement/modification of die components. Documentation, clearance cuts, and drilled holes are created automatically, enabling die designers to avoid manual, error-prone tasks.
Optimized NC Sequences
CAM, if treated secondarily to CAD, can yield opportunities for costly delays and production mistakes. Pro/ENGINEER Production Machining provides manufacturing engineers with robust NC programming capabilities for directly cutting and shaping product parts using milling, turning, and wire EDM. And, since it enjoys seamless compatibility with the design, changes are automatically incorporated. The result: improved time to production and customer responsiveness.
Complete Milling
Not all CAM solutions are created equal. Some tools emphasize easy-of-use, others promote cost advantages. The best solution for directly machining product parts on production lines would be price competitive, feature-rich, yet, unlike other CAM tools, it would enjoy seamless compatibility with the design. This is Pro/ENGINEER Prismatic and Multi-Surface Milling. A virtual milling “specialist” for prismatic machining, it greatly and affordably increases NC productivity.
A Better Way to Simulate the Plastic-filling Process
Mold filling analysis
Problems found after tooling development are always expensive and frustrating. For plastic part design and manufacture, there is a better way. By simulating the plastic-filling process for injection-molded parts, Pro/ENGINEER Plastic Advisor enables engineers to design for manufacturability, uncover problems, and propose remedies, reducing development time and expense.
Automatically Create and Optimize Toolpaths
Punch and bend metal
Inefficient sheetmetal manufacturing entails high levels of scrap, and manually-conducted repetitive operations. Eliminating these problems is the domain of Pro/ENGINEER NC Sheetmetal. You gain productivity by automatically creating and optimizing toolpaths using standard and form tools. And, with its smart auto-nesting, you utilize maximum sheet area, reduce scrap and material costs and shorten lead times.
Digital Inspections of Machined Parts and Assemblies
Quality inspection
Ensuring that proper manufacturing processes are conducted is an essential, but potentially expensive proposition. Pro/ENGINEER Computer-Aided Verification delivers a straightforward, economical answer. It allows digital inspections of machined parts and assemblies for quality assurance purposes and supports both CMM machines and laser scanners. Thus, this integral digital quality checking saves time, effort, and money.
Everything You Need to Completely Design an Entire Mold Assembly
Total mold design
Professional mold designers now have everything they need to completely design an entire mold assembly – core, cavity and moldbase – in one package. Pro/ENGINEER Complete Mold Design combines all the features of Tool Design and Expert Moldbase, offering a powerful combination of capabilities for specialized mold assembly creation.
