Engineering

Capabilities

     Quashnick Tool Corporation's experienced engineering staff works together to analyze, organize and develop the mold build schedule prior to its exposure to the shop. Our fully networked system of XP Pro workstations give us the ability to design and build molds quickly and efficiently through data transfer interaction throughout the shop floor. This results in molds built to exacting specifications with optimum manufacturability in mind, that produce parts accurately and cost effectively.

 

Key Benefits

• Organized for Optimum Production Scheduling.
• Reliable in delivery commitments.
• Efficient to ensure on-time delivery at competitive costs.

  Solid Modeling

   Using Pro/Engineer WildFire 2 , SolidWorks 2006, Autodesk Inventor R4, Mechanical Desktop 4 and AutoCAD 2000 software with our fully Networked Workstations we have the equipment we need to model both the complex solid mold assemblies as well as the intricate plastic parts demanded by our customers.

 

 

 
Mold Flow Analysis

    We also have the capability of analyzing the plastic part before any steel has been cut. Utilizing MoldFlow's Pro/Plastic Adviser Quashnick Tool Corporation can select the specific resin requested by our customer and sample the part filling with parameters very similar to those of an actual molding machine. Thoroughly examining the information extracted from the analysis aids in the development of our injection mold design. We use this information to recommend gate locations, suggest areas requiring cooling in the tool, modify the part to assist in mold filling and to specify areas for crucial venting.

 CAM

    With both Pro/Manufacturing and SURFCAM 2001 we have the ability to turn complex surfaces into cutter paths for our Bostomatic 12G. Our 3R tooling allows us to take electrodes straight from the CNC to our 2 Sodick CNC EDM's without having to exchange the fixture it was held in during manufacturing.
