Through CAD/CAM – computer aided design, computer aided machining, virtual 3D surfaces can be created, evaluated for fit with solid models of existing parts, modified and finally machined into mold surfaces using CNC – computer numerically controlled – milling machines.
Solid model files can be created in an “Edrawing” format that are easily viewed in 3D perspective using a desktop computer. The model can be rotated and zoomed for critical inspection of a design before machining a mold surface. The viewing software is built into the solid file so that anyone with a PC can receive the file by Email and instantly view the design. You as a customer can feel satisfied that the new design is doing what you want.
Use of CAD/CAM and multi-axis CNC machining for final trim of formed parts produces a quality surface finish with an exact fit from part-to-part that is difficult to achieve otherwise. CAD/CAM is also used to form the 3D trim fixtures so that identically formed and trimmed parts are produced, minimizing quality control issues.
