CAE Services Touts MoldCool Estimator as Cost-Effective, Invaluable
Software
Easy to use tool helps manufacturers scientifically reduce
cycle times
BATAVIA, IL: January, 2005 — CAE
Services Corporation, a leading injection mold analysis and structural
finite
element analysis
(FEA) firm, reaffirms its MoldCool Estimator product as a critical
tool for predicting and calculating cooling time for any part.
The software replaces costly and time-consuming trial and error
methods. Users can evaluate cooling channel designs, increase quotation
accuracy and consistency, reduce engineering quotation time, as
well as conduct multiple iterations, calculate required tonnage
for equipment selection.
According to Mark Solberg, CAE Services’ vice president
of sales and marketing, “Companies that employ guesswork
run the risk of quoting jobs too high and they lose work to their
competition. Conversely, those who bid too low lose money in the
process. Our customers’ testimonials are proof that MoldCool
Estimator is a time-tested program used to accurately predict cycle
times.”
MoldCool Estimator allows users to store all job quotes and cooling
design data in memory for future reference. The software enables
companies to customize material databases.
MoldCool Estimator user David Otto, vice president of sales and
engineering at Wise-Hamlin Plastics, adds, “We purchased
and distributed MoldCool Estimator to all our project engineers
for evaluating new molding business. The information we obtain
using the product gives us a very high level of confidence going
into a new project and applies to almost every material that we
process from TPE to glass filled polyester. The total evaluation
time from start to finish takes just seconds. This program easily
allows us to perform what-if scenarios on tool steel options and
cooling circuit geometry to give us an advantage in the tool quoting
process. One of the best features of this program allows us to
compare currently running jobs to establish a baseline for performance
for a specific material and application. Then, we can adjust and
save the parameters for future reference for similar applications.
I have not found a product that is easier and faster to use, yet
offers a very high level of technology, accuracy, and sophistication.”
Pricing and Availability:
MoldCool Estimator is available now and is priced at US$595.00,
or nearly four times less than when the product was first introduced
10 years ago.
