WE REPLY TO YOUR QUESTIONS
IS THE DESIGN IN 3D?
The whole design is performed entirely in 3D. Even the most simple details
ARE THE 2D DRAWINGS PROVIDED?
Yes, of course. The drawings are still vitally important in many production contexts and often fulfil the role of a "document" with a validity that in a certain sense is “contractual”.
FILE FORMATS PROVIDED?
We can supply a variety of proprietary formats (wkf visCAD, prt Creo, sldprt Solidworks ...) but it is increasingly common to deliver stp214 formats for 3D geometries and dxf, dwg or pdf formats for 2D documentation
DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED?
We provide all the required/necessary documentation. From the 2D drawings complete with ejector and pin mappings to mold mounting diagrams. Complete bills of material are always provided.
Spare part and MOLD installation drawings are part of the standard documentation delivered for each project
Spare part and MOLD installation drawings are part of the standard documentation delivered for each project
REFERENCE STANDARDS?
All specific standards requested by the client. Generally, ISO-DIN for the European market, ANSI for the North American market
LEAD/SUPPLY TIMES?
In 2018 our average lead time was 5 working days. The supply time is extremely variable and depends on the project (always indicated in the quotation).
COSTS?
To be evaluated according to the specific project/advice requested. Request a quote at info@tflab.eu
SIMILAR CASES ANALYSED?
Maybe. However, each project has its own specifications and criticalities.
HOW DOES A PROJECT START?
Once the quotation has been confirmed and signed, the job order is opened and all the specifications to be included in the project are entered on a form. Our typical operating procedure will then be adopted
WHAT IS SUPPLIED WITH A SIMULATION?
The results of the simulation analyses (whether FEM or filling) is recorded in a report.
WHAT TYPES OF FILLING ANALYSIS ARE CONDUCTED?
We can conduct a molding analysis and part-mold-press matching (WFD) analysis starting from some basic data (machine, part volume, gate volume, expected quality). Or a complete filling and solidification analysis that requires a complete definition of the process.
