b'New Ideas in Swiss-Line ToolsSwiss-Line inserts and toolholders Designed for parting, grooving, profiling, and chamfering in mass production operations Advanced and unique PVD triple coating forhigh wear and heat resistanceMitsubishi Materials U.S.A.This customized milling cutter was designed by Mitsubishi Materials U.S.A. G6 Multi-Purpose Turning Insert Six cutting edges deliver high productivity and cost efficiencythe most precise results. We also use shrink-fit tool-Designed for grooving, parting-off, and threading applicationsing to reduce deflection.One holder fits all insertsWheres the Software?The demand for more software features related to manufacturability is being answered in the latest ver-sions of several CAD/CAM/CAE packages. Ditosto and his team use a number of systems depending on the task, type of design and complexity. Ask your Based on the complexity of the design, we chooseCarmex representative the appropriate design software, he said. We haveabout our a few options we tend to lead with, and it might belatest dependent on how close the design is to one of ourSwiss-Line Polygon promotions!standard tools. We would tend to stay with the design For turning, back turning, parting, grooving, system which the standard product was developed full radius grooving, and threadingwith. On the CAE side, we have a couple of prod-All inserts can be used with the same toolholderucts we use depending (on) if it is a structure (design) Coated holders provide or optimization (manufacturing) process. AutoCAD, abrasive resistanceAutodesk Inventor, Creo/Pro/E, Mastercam, Esprit, Solidworks CAM, Siemens NX, 3D Systems, hyperMill, Vericut and Production Module all have their place when it comes to CAD/CAM and CAE. CAM systems have really changed in the past 10 years. Visualization and simulation with many of these products is quiteContact your Carmex representativeimpressive. We partner with all of the above CAM or visit www.carmexusa.comsoftware brands at our MTEC (Materials Technology and Education Center) in North Carolina to help solve manufacturing challenges. Its amazing what these products can do, and we look forward to any new fea-tures that may be introduced down the road.Siegel sees the benefits of versatility in softwareThe optimal tools for your industry TMselection.ctemag.com/cteguide.com35DesigningParts.indd 35 8/17/20 10:24 AM'
