SEMINAR: Tool Design & Manufacturing Horsepower

Design-to-Manufacturing Solutions for the Tooling Industry

Please join us as we race to the finish line by maximizing design-to-manufacturing solutions for the tooling industry. Learn how you can gain a competitive advantage by effectively leveraging specialized, best-practice knowledge in tooling development.

The process of tool design and manufacture are critical path to the development of most products. The demands for shorter product delivery times, faster turnarounds on design enhancements, and lower supplier costs as well as the increase in global competition have dramatically impacted the tool-making industry. The complexity of tool design and manufacture traditionally requires highly skilled people applying knowledge attained only after years of practice and experience. These resources are difficult to obtain or replace. Companies can gain competitive advantage by effectively leveraging specialized, best-practice knowledge in tooling development.

This event will identify key challenges faced by the tool makers and explore how NX™ software address them. There are two parts to the learning section of this event:

LEARN

Mold Design using NX Mold Wizard:

NX Mold Wizard applies Process Wizard technology to optimize the mold design process, delivering levels of productivity that dramatically outperform traditional CAD software. Providing a structured workflow based on expert best practices, automation of mold-specific design tasks and libraries of standard mold components, NX Mold Wizard provides a step-by-step process that promotes the most efficient workflow, while integrating complex elements of design technology into automated sequences. Some key capabilities in NX Mold Wizard:

• Multi CAD
• Mold Validation
• Core/Cavity Generation
• Knowledge Driven Mold Design Automation
• Mold Base and Standard Parts Libraries

Integrated tool manufacturing:

This part of the seminar introduces NX CAM, which delivers a complete and proven solution for machine tool programming that enables companies to maximize the throughput of their most advanced machine tools. It includes development of In-process models such as fixture and tooling libraries, set-up drawings, part programming and shop documents to mention a few.

With the Industry's best design through manufacturing associative solution powered by NX Model driven process, NX CAM provides many benefits:

• Automated and Feature Based Part Programming
• Programming Advanced Multi-Axis and Multi-Function Machine Tools
• Post Processer Creation and Machine Tool Verification
• Shop Documentation and Work Instructions

LUNCH

• Jet's Pizza, Salad, and Beverages Served at noon

RACE

• Pro Kart Racing - Rev up the fun and race in a Mini Grand Prix
  • Sodi GT5 Indoor Racing Karts equipped with 6.5 HP Honda engines, slick racing tires, and hydraulic brakes
  • 1/5-mile track includes a 200-foot-long straightaway
  • 6 varying corners to give the thrill of high speeds and g-forces
  • Watchthe race heat up to see if you have what it takes to win the cup!
