Case Study: Haier Group achieves record mold productivity, reduced costs and faster delivery with 3D Systems' Cimatron

Intelligent CAD/CAM toolsets from Cimatron Help Haier Mould Significantly Improve Mold Design and Production

Haier Mould, the leading mold-making subsidiary of China’s Haier Group, supplies high-precision molds to global OEMs in automotive, appliances and electronics. Faced with growing part complexity, tighter margins and ever shorter lead times, Haier needed modern CAD/CAM tools to speed development, improve accuracy and ensure on-time delivery.

By adding seats of Cimatron and using its advanced modeling, surface editing/repair, intelligent NC and direct technical support, Haier increased NC programming efficiency, shortened production cycles and produced a record number of molds. The solution reduced data-translation errors and costs, improved time-to-delivery, streamlined design-for-manufacturing and strengthened Haier’s competitiveness at home and abroad.
