INTEGRATED Die Design & Manufacturing
![Page 4: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Typical Die Shop Process
Data read in & evaluated
After tooling reviews, parts and steel ordered,
job is released
Available designer begins job “Throw over wall” to
manufacturing
![Page 5: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Shop Tasks
! Wire EDM punch details
! NC form stations
! Drill plates
! Assembly
Operations are often performed in separate departments.
![Page 6: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So where is the job info?
It’s all over the place yet nowhere to be found
![Page 7: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So where is the job info?
Quote info sits on a salesman’s laptop
Design is on the CAD server
NC code is on a shop floor workstation
Drawings are rolled up in a corner or filed
Drill or EDM routines sit on the controller or have been discarded
![Page 8: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Resulting Issues
! Data is scattered or discarded
! Starting from scratch for an engineering change
! Difficult communication between departments
! Mistakes
![Page 9: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Typical Scenario
! Different design software
! New job goes to next available designer and done in the software he/she is most familiar with
! Multiple translations
! Different NC software
! Programming depending on available machine
! Backlog on some machines
![Page 10: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why?
! Evolved process ! Bought a new machine = with a new software to run it ! Hired a new designer who didn’t know the existing design system
= bought a new design system ! Wanted best in class system for each operation…best NC, best
EDM… = multiple, disparate systems
![Page 11: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Engineering Change = Pain!
! Job now goes to whomever is available to do the EC
! Translate entire job to a different software
! Days lost in restoring data
! Passed to NC and again translated to different system
! Original machine no longer available so it is programmed in a different software
! Does the design file match the actual tool?
![Page 12: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Results
! Process repeated again and again
! Lost money on changes ! Original quote was soft to get the job with intent of making the
money back up in the inevitable engineering changes
! Delayed Delivery
![Page 13: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is this how to solve the issues?
! Responding to urgency – due date
! All hands on deck
! Designer works overtime
! More NC machines
! Second shift
! Outsourcing work
! Still throwing data over the wall
! Still have parts of the operations waiting for other tasks to finish
! Increasing cost to finish job
![Page 14: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So what is INTEGRATED Die Design & Manufacturing?
! Not a crisis management
! A designed workflow
! All phases of manufacturing remain current
! Adapt on the fly with engineering changes
! Work smarter not harder
![Page 15: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What Do We Need?
! Mindset ! Open minded look at current process
! How often do I translate data? ! What is holding up the flow
! Does software allow for it or hinder it?
! Train people on new process
![Page 16: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Integration - Example
! Quote – data and decisions ! Many quotes are requiring a preliminary strip layout ! If strip can be done in minutes, why not include it in quote to
improve chance of getting the job? ! Pass info on to design department at kickoff
![Page 17: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Integration - Example
! Design – multiple design processes ! One designer works on punch side while another works on die
side ! One designer finalizes strip while another begins layout on tool
design details ! Quickly incorporate ECO’s “on the fly” at any stage in design
![Page 18: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Integration - Example
! NC/Assembly ! Immediately informed if design has changed ! Option to rerun operations on changed data ! Shop-floor viewing for assembly to see new part list and assembly
files with notification of changes ! Option to recalculate NC operations; not reprogram
![Page 19: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How?
! One system designed to do concurrent engineering ! Design standards incorporated into each job
! Material specs – bend conditions ! Punch clearances – die offsets ! Die set standards – how I build my dies ! Standard components for all designs/designers
![Page 20: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How?
! Same design standards available during the quotation ! Quote with material data ! Quote with die and component company standards ! Quoting and design are always on the same page and can
pass info back and forth
![Page 21: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How?
! Quoting, Design, NC and Assembly are on the same database ! If design changes, NC is immediately updated ! NC automation
! Autodrill – “sees” the hole size and shape and applies the drilling and pocketing needed to manufacture it automatically
! NC standards saved and reapplied to next job ! Templates – one click to apply cut strategy
![Page 22: Die Making Software - MetalForming Magazine · About Cimatron ! World leader in CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers; mfg. of discrete parts ! 25+ years of expertise !](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020216/5c4e712093f3c30e0214813a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How?
! Assembly immediately updated with design changes ! Detail drawings update automatically ! BOM updates as well ! Shop floor viewers allow instant access to information for
assembly
