We use AutoCAD or our solid modeler Mechanical Desktop, to create all dimensions and specifications, including the screw and dowel hole locations. This allows the CNC Milling Centers or the Wire EDM Machines to create the screw and dowel holes on an exact location.

High wear die sections can now be fabricated while the die is still running in the punch press. Replacing worn die sections only takes a few hours instead of a few days, as was the standard practice in the past.

Also, during new die fabrication, the alignment of the punch and die sections in the top and bottom die set, is now done automatically. This saves many hours or days of assembly effort, but also creates perfect alignment between punch and die sections. Thus, the tooling creates perfect production parts right from the beginning and continues in production much longer.
