Old versus New
The conventional aluminium toolmaking process involves:
- Preparation of CAD file
- NC program generation - rough & finish, for milling and EDM
- Rough & finish milling
- Machine electrodes
- EDM.
With Formation, it's a simple one-machine, one-program and one-piece manufacturing flow.
In one instance, the creation of a two-piece die set with a total volume of 200 mm by 175 mm by 100 mm took only 36 hours.
