Cutting Tool

Third Wave Systems' analysis software is the ideal tool for companies that manufacture and design cutting tools for the metalworking industry.  Cutting tool companies must commit many resources to Research and Development in order to keep pace with the demands of manufacturers.  With our modeling and simulation software, these companies can reduce the time and money it takes to design, test, and deliver to market new cutting tools.  Below are some specific examples of how we can help machine it faster, machine it better.

  • Analyze the design of solid and indexable tools for optimal rake, relief, and helix angles; chip breaker geometries; and coatings using AdvantEdge™ FEM
  • Create machining simulations to investigate tool force, temperature, stress, and deflection data
  • Import tool files in STEP, STL, VRML, DXF and NASTRAN format
