Advanced Simulation, Tooling Options

Predictable die cast tooling performance and lowest cost tooling investment is offered by CWM through its in-house Magmasoft® design and process simulation system. CWM also offers the option of offshore die construction for product designs that qualify.

In-house Magmasoft® Process Simulation
Chicago White Metal Casting employs the in-house process simulation technology of the advanced Magmasoft® high-pressure die casting simulation software system. It enables early resolution of die design issues and rapid optimization of the die casting process prior to die design and construction, for the highest-quality casting results.

Interfacing with customer CAD files, extensive databases, and its 3D modeler, this superior metal-flow software allows rapid analysis of a product’s design in relation to tooling and process variables for optimum first-piece success. CWM engineers believe that the Magmasoft system is, today, the best predictor of the final performance of a die casting die design. It provides a best estimate of the mechanical properties that can be expected in the final cast part.

The bottom line for OEMs is reduced lead time, improved quality assurance, and lower manufacturing costs.

More complete details on the benefits of the Magmasoft system is available in CWM's Application/Tech Brief No. 23 Downloadable PDF.

To arrange a CWM plant visit, and see Magmasoft metal flow simulation in action, contact your CWM Regional Sales-Engr Representative or the CWM Sales Dept.

Tested Offshore Die Cast Tool Build Options
A new generation of die casting tooling construction technologies are now being practiced in the U.S. and, at various levels, abroad.

With die cast product designs that qualify, CWM can offer proven offshore tooling options based on its analyses of global best practices in tool building, which has included the construction of test die casting dies. In specific applications, tool investment economies can be achieved without sacrificing die construction quality.

CWM is prepared to share its best-practice findings with its OEM customers, including special caveats which cannot be ignored in the case of offshore toolmaking.
