I have been designing progressive dies for 25 years. I started using Pro E one year ago. We just purchased the PDX, and then I began to use this software.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
You mentioned ProMold experience. Did you use EMX?
I am in Chicago.
I started building Die in 1985 a long with Die repair till 1996, in 1996I started building proto-type alum. molds using Pro/e, Pro/man and Pro/mold design, and did that till Jan. of this year.
I started my current Job in Jan. Its a small tool and die shop, that puts alot of dies
out the back door if you know what I mean.
I've been using MasterCam and SolidEdge since Feb.
We are looking to automate the way we build die, we are hoping to get at least 35% faster, on the design end.
There is a Co. in Nashville Foundation Tool Design they use Pro/e for everthing, I am planning to go up there and talk to them Thrusday.
"Oh yea" What is EMX?,
I use to live in Chicago move back down south in 1980 (SkullBone Tn)
Gotta go now....
Lets get together and talk about the 69 Cubs! Forget Dies!!!! haahahahahaha
Hi,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
I know Foundation Tool Design. I spoke with Barry (over the phone) on a few occasions almost a year ago, when I began using ProE for die design. Barry gave me a lot of excellent advice on how to do several things in ProE when designing progressive dies. My understanding is that they have a highly automated ProE configuration for die design.
