Manufacturing punching and forming tools for injection molding and die casting means constantly coming up with new solutions to challenges with a wide range of tasks and processes.
VERICUT gives you everything you need to simulate your NC program to avoid collisions and catch errors, gouges, and other potential issues. VERICUT’s Force module optimizes programs to reduce cycle times and produce better surface finishes for your mold and die components.
Plastic injection moldmaking often means tough materials, complex geometries, and tight tolerances. Multi-cavity molds can sell for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is why IMFLUX Inc. uses VERICUT Force to optimize their NC programs.
Force Optimization from CGTech is a physics-based NC program optimization software module that analyzes and optimizes cutting conditions throughout NC program operations. VERICUT’s Force module saved at least 17% on basic part geometries and 45% on complex geometries; improved tool life significantly with little to no chipping or edge wear; and improved machinist and operator confidence.
We looked at many alternatives, and I’m very glad that we stayed with Vericut, especially given what we’ve seen with Force Optimization. We put everything on the table, checked the boxes on what worked and what didn’t and then narrowed it from there. Unfortunately, we lost time on the initial implementation, but it’s a good thing we put Vericut back in the equation. It was the right choice for us.
