Sheet Metal, Casting, Plastics & Forming

Nesting scrap, casting yield, injection cycle, press force, and bending springback.

Pro calculators

  • Cast Runner Extractor Efficiency And Melting Energy LossPRO

    Runner weight is 30-50% of total casting, yield is not optimized.

  • Forging Extrusion Process Force And Press CapacityPRO

    Forming force is not calculated, the press is oversized or the existing press is overloaded.

  • Injection Cooling Time And Cycle OptimizationPRO

    Cooling time is determined by feel; a 2-second reduction means thousands more parts per year.

  • Mold Life And Maintenance Period OptimizationPRO

    Mold maintenance is done by feel, causing early maintenance cost or late maintenance scrap risk.

  • Sheet Metal Fire Nesting OptimizationPRO

    Parts are placed on the sheet by eye, the scrap rate cannot be optimized.

  • Sheet Metal Twist Springback CompensationPRO

    Springback is not accounted for, bend angle is off, causing rework.
