Case Study: Giebeler Formenbau cuts tool production time by nearly 50% with Cimatron CAD/CAM

Giebeler Formenbau Builds Efficiencies in Design and Production of Masssive Tools with Cimatron

Giebeler Formenbau, a German company specializing in injection molding and die casting tools, faced the challenge of reducing production time for massive, complex tools weighing up to 7 tons to meet customer demands for faster turnaround. To address this, they implemented Cimatron's CAD/CAM solution, specifically its MoldDesign, NC, and QuickElectrode software.

By choosing Cimatron, Giebeler automated its entire toolmaking process, which streamlined electrode design, improved change management, and optimized toolpaths. As a result, Cimatron helped the company nearly halve its production time from 12-15 weeks down to 8-10 weeks, significantly increasing throughput and contributing to a goal of raising annual sales by 10-15%.
