Cimatron and Moldex3D to Introduce Innovative Cooling Simulation
New Simulation to Support Traditional / 3D-Printed Cooling Systems
GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, August 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Cimatron Limited [http://www.cimatron.com ] (NASDAQ: CIMT) and CoreTech System Co.,
Ltd. (Moldex3D) together announced today an agreement to deliver an integrated cooling
simulation tool within CimatronE to address the growing design needs for more efficient
cooling systems in the plastics industry.
It is well-known the conventional cooling design with drilled straight channels cannot
cool down complex plastic parts evenly and efficiently, often resulting in poor part
quality and extended cycle time problems. With the introduction of laser sintering
technology, mold cores and inserts manufactured by 3D printing can keep the cooling
channels close to the core/cavity surface as much as possible so as to achieve even and
efficient cooling. The new integration will provide CimatronE users a convenient and
powerful tool to evaluate the benefits and return-on-investment (ROI) of conformal cooling
approach.
The cooling analysis capabilities will be delivered as an optional add-on in the next
release of Moldex3D eXplorer for Cimatron. It will extend the power of Cimatron users from
performing mold filling analysis to optimizing cooling channel layout. Designers can
design in Cimatron environment mold cores and inserts with conventional channels, baffles
and bubbles, and/or incorporate complex conformal cooling channels to enhance cooling in
critical regions. With Moldex3D proprietary auto-mesh technology, complex cooling channel
mesh models can be automatically constructed for analysis. Based on the 3D cooling
analysis results from Moldex3D, users can accurately identify hot or cold spots, mold
temperature, required cooling time, and cooling efficiency of a mold before cutting or
"printing" the steel, and promptly revise the design in CimatronE to improve the cooling
performance.
"The new cooling analysis integration with Moldex3D will help our customers to design
higher quality molds with improved cooling and shorter cycle times using advanced 3D
printing (Additive Manufacturing) technologies as well as traditional milling and drilling
technologies." said Ira Bareket, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Cimatron. "The
ability to support analysis of conformal cooling will place our customers at the forefront
of mold production technology."
"It is our pleasure to extend the integration with Cimatron." stated Venny Yang,
President of CoreTech System (Moldex3D). "Moldex3D is dedicated to develop with the idea
and insistence upon molding innovation to deliver users easy-to-use yet most accurate
molding solutions. We are glad to provide Cimatron the full support on cooling design and
advanced conformal cooling analysis capability to leverage 3D printing technology."
The new capabilities will be available to end users with the next CimatronE release.
