V5 Trim Steel Expert
by : CENIT
Engineering Domain : Mechanical Design
Prerequisites : MD1 V5
Available since : 2006-12-15, V5R16
Product Overview
FASTTRIMSTEEL is a completely integrated CATIA V5 solution to automate the design of trimming tools used in the sheet metal and plastics die forming industry. The solution creates the stock material and the tool surfaces as separate elements to fully support the engineering and manufacturing process. It furthermore will embed the specific parameters as known in the tool engineering industry. Trimming process parameters will be taken into account. Typical parameters such as shear and back spacing. Collision checks will ensure the trimming tool to actually cut the material instead of touching the material at undesirable places, causing material deformations or bad cutting operations.
Customer Benefits
- Faster and easier engineering of complex trim tools in a tedious and time-consuming process, enabling the process planner and tool engineer to be involved in concurrent engineering process at an earlier stage.
- Complete parameterisation of the trim steels; all entries can be modified at any time.
- Uniform design process with data compatibility throughout the whole design to manufacturing process.
- Seamlessly integrated into the CATIA V5 workflow, based on the CAA V5 architecture, operated with ease-of-use interfaces.
