Larger Databases Support Standard Mold Units

Hasco America Inc. highlights some new product additions available in the Mold Wizard for Siemens NX. With intelligent standard mold units and innovative features, the system offers tailor-made solutions to meet the demands of modern moldmaking. The extension enables engineers and designers to work more efficiently and precisely via accessing a wide range of high-quality components.

A new feature of the Mold Wizard is a tool called “Mold Cost.” It optimizes the process of drawing up offers for molds by simplifying and speeding up the gathering of information and the drawing up of the offer. At present, the process of compiling an offer involves several steps in various systems. With the new tool, mold costs can be efficiently prepared and reports quickly generated, thereby increasing the plannability and saving time. Other features include increased efficiency, fast reporting and improved precision of the mold costs calculation. “Mold Cost” sets a new standard in the mold industry and helps the customer to optimize processes and remain competitive.

With the company’s standard mold units integrated in TopSolid, highly complex molds can be efficiently designed and manufactured. The company says that now that the database has been increased by 60% and is automatically updated, this means that access to a larger selection of high-grade components is guaranteed. The automatic update ensures that users are always working with the present information and can benefit from the latest developments.

The enlarged database includes the latest standard mold units, with improved guide elements and high-precision ejector pins. These components increase the reliability of the construction and can be integrated seamlessly into 3D CAD data. In this way, design processes are optimized and productivity increased.
