AWARD WINNING SOLUTIONS

We collaborate with our customers up-front to address all areas of design, quality, cost, and manufacturability before mold design begins. We also perform full Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review on all projects awarded which includes all aspects of part design, mold design, and on-going manufacturing. The full DFM also includes a review of wall thickness, draft angles, mold steel conditions, gate locations, mold actions, cost drivers, and a complete flow analysis.

SMART SYSTEMS AND VIRTUAL SIMULATION

Our customers' 3-D models are converted into Cimatron, a software specific to manufacturing, toolmaking, and CNC programming applications. Cimatron is used throughout the entire mold building life cycle, including CAD data management, quoting, mold design, electrode design, and CNC programming. Both the visual and animated functionality of utilizing this software are two major advantages our customers experience to understand exactly how molds function before they are even built.

Our trained engineers perform 3-D mold filling analysis on every part prior to mold design as well as throughout the quoting process. PTA has the ability to utilize virtual simulation and to manipulate scenarios and analyze the results of those scenarios to help ensure expectations are achieved, avoid costly revisions, and projects are completed on time.

MOLD FILLING ANALYSIS

PTA Plastics utilizes Autodesk Moldflow Adviser Advanced to analyze filling, injection pressures, gate locations, molding window, packing, runner balancing, cooling, warpage, and fiber orientation. A complete warp analysis is also available upon request.
