Case Study: Bastech reduces mold costs and cycle times with Cimatron integrated CAD/CAM software

A Cimatron Case Study

Bastech Uses 3D-Printed Conformal Cooling Inserts to Reduce Costs and Time

Bastech, an Ohio-based manufacturing solutions provider, faced the common injection molding challenge of maintaining even mold temperatures with traditional cooling methods, which are complex and limit design possibilities. To overcome this, they turned to Cimatron and its integrated CAD/CAM software to design and produce 3D-printed conformally-cooled molds.

By implementing Cimatron's software for design and analysis automation, Bastech created efficient conformal cooling channels that were then 3D printed. This solution from Cimatron delivered significant results, including a 22% reduction in injection molding cycle times, the elimination of 30-40 hours of mold post-processing, and an 18% reduction in costs, providing a major bottom-line impact.
