Case Study: PTA Corporation achieves faster, more efficient mold design and production with 3D Systems' Cimatron

PTA Corporation Transforms Mold Design and Manufacture Processes with Cimatron

PTA Corporation is a long-established leader in plastic injection molding, providing end-to-end services—from concept and design consultation to tooling, manufacturing and assembly—for medical, computer, telecom, industrial and security customers. Facing tight aesthetics and tolerances, aggressive speed-to-market demands, and the need to advise on manufacturability and material selection, PTA needed a cohesive workflow that could shorten lead times and support complex, high-precision projects.

PTA standardized on Cimatron as a single integrated CAD/CAM platform across design, mold making, electrode design and programming, eliminating time-consuming file translation between systems. The result: streamlined operations and communications, faster design-to-production cycles, better customer feedback through built-in simulation tools, higher-quality molds delivered more quickly, and the company decommissioned its legacy software.
