Exclusive partnerships bear fruitIn an exclusive partnership between Oerlikon Balzers and AutoForm, a software tool has been developed that recognises initial wear problems on the basis of the forming simulation and proposes both design and coating solutions.
This also avoids any corrections during the production phase. At the same time, low-cost tools can be assessed in advance for their wear resistance and optimised. An innovative aid for cost reduction in toolmaking!
With Böhler Uddeholm, we have a connection not only with very well coordinated customer advice in the field but also with the simultaneous development of new steels and corresponding coating and hardening processes.
