关于客户
Woodland/Alloy Casting, Inc. 是一家综合性铝铸件供应商,为航空、电气、工业、船舶和国防等众多行业提供服务。该公司专注于潮模砂造型、空气凝固造型和永久模具,拥有满足客户对重量从几盎司到 2000 磅零件的铸造需求的能力和专业知识。 Woodland/Alloy Casting 因“每次都按时”提供优质铝铸件而自豪。该公司可以方便地在同一屋檐下进行成型、制芯、熔化、热处理、清洁和表面处理,使其能够持续满足客户的时间和质量标准。
挑战
Woodland/Alloy Casting, Inc. 是一家提供全方位服务的铝铸件供应商,在将船用排气外壳部件从消失模铸造转变为砂型铸造时面临着重大挑战。这种转变需要更新浇注系统以保持零件的完整性。该公司的目标是生产良好的铸件,同时将内浇口和冒口保持在最低限度,从而降低产量并减少拆除索具所需的时间。面临的挑战是设计一种新的浇注系统,该系统可以从底部法兰供给铸件并将金属推到铸件的顶部。测试新浇注系统的传统方法会涉及大量昂贵且耗时的测试,需要大量模具来确定新浇注系统的结果。
解决方案
为了克服这一挑战,Woodland/Alloy Casting, Inc. 采用 SolidThinking Click2Cast 在新设计的排气外壳浇注系统上运行铸造模拟。 Click2Cast 是一款铸造模拟软件,允许用户增强和优化其制造流程。更新的设计完成后,Woodland/Alloy Casting 通过在 Click2Cast 中运行模拟来测试新的浇注系统。模拟证实,新的浇注系统将生产出零缺陷的铸件。该解决方案无需创建新的浇注系统样品和模具进行测试,从而节省了时间和成本。此后,该公司在多个选角项目中采用了 Click2Cast,并继续探索该软件提供的所有功能、设置和工具。
运营影响
  • The use of solidThinking Click2Cast in the casting simulation process has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Woodland/Alloy Casting, Inc. The software has enabled the company to optimize and improve their casting process while maintaining their commitment to delivering quality castings on time. The simulation capabilities offered by Click2Cast have resulted in both cost and time savings for the company. The company has been able to apply the software to a number of casting projects since its initial discovery, and continues to explore all the features, settings, and tools that the software provides. This has not only enhanced their casting process but also opened up new possibilities for further optimization and improvement.
数量效益
  • Confirmed the new gating design would produce a casting free of defects through simulation, eliminating the need for physical testing.
  • Reduced time in trial and error in creating numerous gating systems for numerous tests.
  • Cost savings in eliminating the process of having to create new gating system samples and molds to test.
