Success Stories: Hitachi Tool
Challenge: Determine optimum tool
design for minimized machining costs, while avoiding excess trial-and-error iterations.
- Approach: Perform various company-standard analyses to examine temperature, chip behavior, cutting forces, heat transfer, and body strength.
- Software: AdvantEdge FEM 3D
- Results: Optimum insert tool geometry identified; trial-and-error testing iterations reduced, eliminating 1–2 months per test; 68% machining cost savings
