‘Insert Moulding’
A Manufacturingtalk guide
Start with the news release
Insert drills raise fabricator's throughput from
Allied Maxcut Engineering Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "By using AMEC's T-A holders with TiAlN and TiN inserts a steel fabricator has improved manufacturing throughput by 25% and has increased tool life by a factor of 10 over the original tooling.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release WNT inserts cut production costs from
WNT (UK): "WNT has introduced five families of insert grades to provide a high-performance product for machining common material groups. ".
In October 2008, we covered the news from Delcam
- take a look at Mouldmaker uses Delcam software at all stages
which says: "Argentinean plastics company Argul y CIA SA uses Delcam systems at all stages of the design, manufacture and inspection of moulds in its factory in Buenos Aires. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Industrial Design Consultancy (IDC), IDC website gives rapid prototype quotes,
as well as Ceratizit releases two Maximill milling systems from Ceratizit UK,
and Iscar tooling optimises milling of components from Iscar Tools.
