Challenge
A development activity was carried out for a mold maker, with the aim of improving wall finishing on a mold, increasing tool life and achieving a consequent reduction in cost per component.
The operation required high process stability and consistent surface quality on a material with hardness between 46 and 52 HRC, conditions that have a significant impact on tool life.
Solution
The activity included a review of the tooling solution, along with a direct comparison with the tool currently in use, in order to assess performance in terms of reliability, finishing quality, and tool life.
