Next Generation Design for Mold, Tool, & Die

The introduction of multi-task machine tools to increase productivity and reduce turnaround times has introduced multiple data formats used in the tooling design process and has increased the need for OEM communication and collaboration which can elevate the level of complexity into the tooling design process and risk slower turnaround times and poor mold quality. Our Next Generation Mold, Tool & Die Design solution leverages Synchronous technology to efficiently work and modify Multi-CAD data and early validation of mold designs to create a competitive advantage by reducing part turnaround time and increasing quality in the final design.

To be competitive, mold manufacturers need to synchronize the entire manufacturing process and work to maximize machine efficiency to achieve defined production targets while closing monitoring feature-based costs. Siemen’s Next Generation Mold, Tool & Die Design solution, helps you overcome inefficient manufacturing processes by providing the ability to read and modify data from multiple CAD systems including neutral formats such as JT, STEP, and IGES. Once imported, multiple data formats can be modified as needed with Synchronous Technology, eliminating the need for slow, error-prone translation and delivering fast and intuitive mold design creation and modification.

The resulting high-quality mold design becomes the input to the manufacturing process and allows you to be more competitive by maximizing the efficiency of machining. Using CAD Design tools, you can quickly prepare the mold for machining where CNC programming lets you achieve high-speed machining to produce a high quality machined surface.

This close connection between OEM’s, engineering and planning enables manufacturing teams to increase collaboration and achieve the right control of the manufacturing process.  This integrated solution enables efficient design change management by optimizing the CAD-CAM-CMM-CNC process which in turns creates increased machine efficiency to help you hit your production targets.

Fonctionnalités de la solution

Explore the key areas of this solution.

Adaptable Integrated BOM

Manage hundreds of engineering changes for complex mold and tool processes in a structured BOM. Execute custom mold and tool releases using processes that ensure alignment with customer requirements and consistent BOM structure.

Aero Structures Design

With integrated tools to go from Concept to Detailed Design to Analysis to Manufacturing and beyond, NX can help the customer better meet or exceed the demand pressure from the airlines by accelerating design productivity. NX enables more design iterations in less time, resulting in bringing a better product to market faster.

Automotive Design

Changing consumer preferences and regulatory pressures are forcing automotive companies to find new ways to improve vehicle performance and design. These pressures profoundly impact the design and engineering processes. NX provides a full suite of design tools that work within a fully integrated product development system from concept design through manufacturing.

CAE Simulation

Leverage multi-discipline simulation tools early in the mold and tool design phase to quickly iterate the optimal solution. Allow less experienced engineers to evaluate concepts as the design evolves and before use cases become more complex.

Composite Design and Manufacturing

Automatically generate composite manufacturing data — such as flat patterns and data to drive automated cutting machines, laser projection systems, fiber placement machines, and tape laying machines — and share it downstream and across the enterprise

Design for Additive Manufacture

Solve complex design challenges to reduce weight and increase mechanical properties by building designs that take advantage of additive manufacturing technology. Move directly from model to prototype part to shorten concept development.

Design Interoperability

It’s no secret that products today are increasingly complex with many, if not most, reliant on integrated electronics. It is critical that designers of both systems collaborate throughout the development process in order to prevent conflicts and ensure alignment between each system prior to design completion.

Design Validation

Visualize and validate non geometric data easily within the machine design, enabling the engineer to make more informed decisions. Oversee progress, manage risks, resolve impacts and formulate hundreds of decisions.

Digital Mockup

Insure full design compatibility with third part solution providers using multi-format data to build complete digital mockups. Load large assemblies quickly, to perform customer design validation.
