MAGICS TOOLING EXPERT TO BE EXHIBITED AT IMTS 2002 BOOTH D4140
29 August 2002 - Materialise NV

From September 4 until September 11, Materialise will exhibit at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), the greatest show in manufacturing in the United States.

At IMTS, Materialise will introduce for the first time on an exhibition in the USA its innovative solution for mold and tool quotation, Magics Tooling Expert. Systematic, Automated, Competitive: Magics Tooling Expert helps toolmakers win more business.

Magics Tooling Expert captures the tool construction and pricing approach of your company, and learns from it to automate the quotation process. Designed to meet the demands of toolmakers in today's competitive and fast-paced tooling market, Magics Tooling Expert combines speed and ease-of-use.

The highly advanced and automatic functions of Magics Tooling Expert reduce the effort of quoting tools to a minimum.

Step 1. The analysis tools - focusing on undercuts, parting line definition, wall thickness, draft and design study - give insight into the complexity and cost of tool design and production. Magics Tooling Expert visualizes problem areas automatically, enabling you to anticipate difficulties before designing the tool. Unpleasant - and costly - surprises during actual tool production are thus eliminated!

Step 2. In the second step, the information and insight gained in the analysis phase combine with tool making knowledge to assess tool complexity and size. Magics Tooling Expert automatically calculates costs, providing you with an effective and systematic means for price estimation with consistent results.

Step 3. Well-documented, customized quotes are generated automatically.
Magics Tooling Expert enables you to offer your customers convincing, detailed and well-documented quotes, which are ideal to illustrate and explain your proposed tooling solution and pricing.

Magics Tooling:

Another innovative software to be demonstrated at the exhibition. Magics Tooling automates the creation of parting planes, inserts and electrodes allowing a complete tool design to be completed in only a fraction of the time when compared to traditional CAD software. Magics Tooling has been developed by injection mold toolmakers - resulting in an easy-to-use, cost effective solution to the problems of tool design.
