Case Study: PTI Engineered Plastics boosts electrode manufacturing efficiency with Cimatron

Integrated CAD/CAM Streamlines Electrode Manufacture, Improves Quality

PTI Engineered Plastics, a custom injection molder, faced a lengthy and manual process for designing and manufacturing electrodes, which was a challenge for its in-house toolroom. They turned to vendor Cimatron and implemented its integrated CAD/CAM software to streamline the creation of complex electrode geometries.

The solution from Cimatron, particularly its Quick Electrode automation, drastically simplified the design and manufacturing process. This allowed PTI to reduce its annual tool builds from 800 to under 300 while focusing on higher quality, more complex tools. The company became five times more efficient, eliminated errors from file transfers, and successfully met tight deadlines for intricate projects.
