A 2D drawing of a part does not make a layman to comprehend fully, unless he is a competent engineering professional. The visualisation process becomes very easy, once the same part is shown as a 3 dimensional photo rendered object image. There are a few occasions when your input from customer is only 2D drawings of complex engineering parts, which go into an assembly. In such cases, you will need 3D CAD models of those parts fitted in an assembly to study the issues involved before spending time creating documentation. Optimised 3D CAD models finally serve as the basis to design / develop the parts from mould  or casting die etc. Roughly 3 out of 4 current CAD users employ 2D drafting. Migration process from 2D to 3D has of late accelerated, due to 'Time to market' constraints. Most contemporary 3D CAD tools marketted today, generate 2D drafted views from 3D CAD model. 'TopSolid CAD' software is the most reliable tool, which we in Designcell Cad Cam Solutions, employ successfully for this kind of service.

Product designing is a subject that deals with the creation of a product that takes into account at the concept stage itself, the following points viz. manufacturability of mould or die, durability and strength of the product, functional reliability, processing method and cost and so on. The product thus designed should have favourable strength to weight ratio, resulting in the cost reduction, without compromise on the quality. Many iterations in the product design with the help of 3D models are carried out, supported by engineering analysis, before the final product is created, to arrive at an optimal design. Good product design is a precurser for a good mould or die design. We have executed jobs with the input supplied by the overseas and local customers.

Designcell CAD/CAM Solutions offers comprehensive support for CAM operations including creation of NC Tool Path.
This expertise has been acquired by the conviction that the best machining results are achieved by a judicious combination of the appropriate CAM combined with the “hands on” knowledge base of the Programmer. The basic considerations including selection of the machining strategy, choice of tool and machining parameters are overseen by our experinced programming engineers.
TopSolid Cam platform is utilized for Tool Path generation from the input data viz. either native or imported parasolid /step or equivalent files. The verified and post processed NC output can be directly used by our Customer without any further verification. The documents are auto-generated by the software.

Designcell CAD/CAM Solutions has a wide ranging and extensive experience in design and manufacture of Dies and Molds for various sectors including Automobile, Furniture, and Electrical Appliances.
Only a limited number of dedicated and reliable platforms are available in the market for the development of complex, high-quality, precision moulds.
Mold development is initiated on a 3D CAD input and the Base development is undertaken as per DME, HASCO, LKM or any other such standards. Design of Core and Cavity inserts, Moving Cores, Slides and other Components are based on Automatic Parting Line Development. Runners, Gates and Waterlines are positioned as per the material flow analysis. Ejector system is planned based on the component requirement and incorporated after interference check. Cavity side check for Hot Runner Systems and Hydraulic Systems is also carried out.
Functional validation is carried out by animation of the assembly.
Design of the mould is fully integrated with the manufacturing environment

Creation of NC tool path for the tool selected is the job of CAM software. The preparatory steps involved in the selection of the machining strategy and the selection of tool type and size and the machining parameters are however, managed by the programming engineer. For any given part, the best machining results can be achieved by the combination of the right CAM software and the programming engineer with an extensive shop floor experience. The post processed NC output can be directly used by the customer alongwith the work shop documents generated by the software.
Optimization of the tool path is the process wherein, there is total control on the variables in machining method , tools, machines , raw material stock, quality of the job and idle cutting. Optimization of the tool path is carried out by 'NCBrain' software, to ensure that the customer gets the ultimate benefits in the time saved and extended tool life, apart from the safety of the machine and the job.

Many a times, the mould maker is confornted with the problems in running an overaged and worn out mould or when the customer needs changes in the product design driven by the market pressure. In such cases, either the mould has to be scrapped and made new or the same mould has to be modified. We have years of experience in the restoration of worn out moulds or adding value to the existing moulds with new product features after studying the feasibility for incorporating such changes in the existing moulds. This solution ultimately leads to the satisfaction of the customer in terms of delivery time, cost and quality. The process however starts from the 3D CAD data supplied by the mould owner, of the original product and the changes proposed in the product. If the 3D CAD for the existing mould is available, then the restoration or modification cost related to design can be minimised.

Pressure die casting is a process, where melted red hot metal is forced into steel dies. In the presolidification stage, inside the die , the plunger movement forces the metal into the die cavity to take its shape under pressure. After a preset solidification time, the plunger retracts and the part is ejected. The machine is ready for the next cycle. Metals having low melting point, such as zinc. Copper, magnesium and lead are cast using hot chamber die casting, where a certain volume of metal is trapped by the plunger that is forced into the cavity thro’ gooseneck and nozzle.
Molten metal is poured into the injection cylinder, in cold chamber die casting. This metal is then forced into the cavity under high pressure. High melting point alloys of aluminum or copper are used for cold chamber die casting.
Parting line and ejector pins locations, flash provision, draft for ejectable jobs and wall thickness uniformity are a few of the points considered. Hot die steel material to withstand the heat fatigue along with hot hardness are generally used for the cavity.
We have executed many projects successfully in this category for our esteemed customers.
