CATIA MOLD AND TOOLING MANY CHALLENGES. ONE EXPERIENCE

HIGH CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS, STRONG GLOBAL COMPETITION, AND TOUGH ECONOMIC CONDITIONS RAISE THE PRESSURE ON THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, AND PARTICULARLY ON TOOLMAKING COMPANIES “With CATIA for Mold, we drastically reduced our design time from one month to one week. It’s a complete tooling design and manufacturing preparation solution within the integrated CATIA environment.” Jae-Deok Shin CEO, Woojin High-Tec, South Korea Turning challenges into competitive advantage Cars, high-tech products, home appliances, industrial equipments, medical devices, …: the quantity, complexity and variety of products...

FROM DESIGN PART TO MANUFACTURABLE PART TO PART PRODUCED AS DESIGNED When facing a part designed with other systems than CATIA, the tool designer can rely on a wide array of data translators (standard formats like IGES and STEP, or native formats like Parasolid) to import the design model into CATIA. FORMING IT RIGHT, QUICKLY AND SAFELY Checking and healing geometrical and topological data (gaps, duplications, overlaps, …) can be performed quickly and efficiently to ensure accurate data definition for the next design stages. CATIA’s unrivalled surface design capabilities provide the power, flexibility...

TOOLING ASSEMBLIES ARE COMPLEX SYSTEMS: HOW CAN ENGINEERING BE MADE SIMPLER, FASTER AND MORE ECONOMICAL? Creating mold tool assemblies fulfilling the high time, cost and reliability requirements induced by an extremely constrained environment requires going beyond traditional 3D design. The third foundation is to standardize, customize, and embed know-how: Effective answers can be found in laying out a clear, structured and controlled workflow (often involving many actors inside or outside the toolmaking company or department), in leveraging engineering expertise, in promoting collaboration and...
