ENGINEERING · BEFORE THE FIRST CUT
Precision begins
before the steel.
From material behaviour to the final dimension. Design, simulation and metrology working together to take your component into production.
CASTING SIMULATION
Understand how the metal flows.
Casting studies help assess filling and solidification. They make it possible to review the feeding concept and identify critical areas before the tooling is manufactured.
Foundry engineering and specialist support connect the simulation with actual sampling conditions.
MOLDFLOW · INJECTION
Shape the flow of the polymer.
Plastic-flow analysis helps study cavity filling and evaluate mould-design decisions. Geometry and material are reviewed together.
A technical basis for discussing injection points, material flow paths and potential filling difficulties.
CAD DESIGN
From component to complete mould.
We work from 2D drawings, 3D models or physical samples to develop cavities, cores and assemblies. Co-design connects the component’s function with its manufacture.
VISI is among the design systems available across the network. The model provides a reference for subsequent operations.
CAD / CAM PROGRAMMING
Turn geometry into toolpaths.
Programming prepares roughing and finishing operations, tool access and machining strategies around the part, its material and the selected machine.
PowerMill, hyperMILL and Tebis are among the programming tools used across the network.
METROLOGY ROOM
Measurement closes the loop.
Coordinate measuring machines check dimensions and surfaces against the drawing. Inspection provides useful information for adjustment and component acceptance.
2 HEXAGON Global CMMs and dimensional reports prepared around the dimensions and tolerances required by the project.
3D SCANNING
From physical part to digital data.
A measuring arm with a laser-scanning head captures surfaces for inspection and reverse engineering. It is particularly useful when the starting point is a physical part.
A 7-axis FARO arm supports measurement and acquisition; model reconstruction is defined around the job.

Prepare your technical enquiry
Describe the project to prepare a clear enquiry. Review, copy or download it locally before sharing it with the right company.
Alessandro OlmiExport Area Manager LATAM+39 347 7524229Answers for your project.
Technical inputs, confidentiality, validation and delivery: what to define before supply.
How do I identify the right company for the project?
Start with the process, material and function of the component. The technology and company sections let you compare high-pressure casting, low-pressure casting, gravity, injection and compression specialisms. Then prepare an enquiry with geometry, dimensions, press, volumes and critical features. Feasibility, technical and commercial scope, and contractual responsibility are agreed with the selected company; capability in the same process does not mean every configuration will suit your mould.
Does the form send the enquiry to the companies?
This version prepares a summary in your browser and lets you copy it or download a .txt file. The summary is not transmitted to the companies, and the demonstration contact does not receive messages. After reviewing the details, share the document through an official contact at the company you want to approach. The site does not save the personal details you enter; the downloaded file stays on your device.
Do I need to share confidential drawings straight away?
A non-confidential description is enough to prepare the enquiry: part function, process, material, approximate size and project objective. Before sending drawings, CAD models, specifications or sensitive information, agree the channel and confidentiality terms with the receiving company, including an NDA if required. This demonstration form does not accept CAD files. State that technical documents are available without putting confidential information in the description.
How are mould validation and progress tracking defined?
Agree acceptance criteria before ordering: dimensions and tolerances to inspect, trial material, process conditions, samples and required documents. The plan may include dimensional checks, CMM reports, mould trials and sampling, according to the available capabilities and supply scope. Also define milestones, review points, who approves changes and how repeated trials are handled. Required documentation, including PPAP or Cp/Cpk analysis where applicable, must be expressly agreed.
Which languages are available on the site?
The website and technical sheets are available in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and English. You can prepare the summary in your preferred language and use the same fields to describe process, material and requirements. Before starting technical discussions, confirm the working language for drawings, revisions, trial reports and commercial documents with the company. The website translation does not automatically determine the language of contractual documents.
What does delivery include, and what support is available?
The proposal should specify packing, transport, insurance, customs procedures and delivery destination, with each party’s responsibilities. Agree how the mould and accessories will be protected and handled, which spare parts and documents travel with them, and whether work at your plant is required. The network includes mould maintenance and repair capabilities; availability, service location, timing and cost are defined with the responsible company. Local support in Mexico or Latin America should not be assumed to be included.
Which items should I compare in the total cost?
Ask for a proposal that separates engineering and simulation, manufacture and components, treatments and finishes, trials and trial materials. Check how many revisions and sampling rounds are planned, how changes after approval are priced, and which inspection documents are included. Compare spare parts, packing, transport, insurance, duties and any start-up support as well. To assess different offers, use the same supply scope, acceptance criteria, payment terms and delivery conditions.
How are available capacity and delivery times checked?
The capabilities shown help frame the assessment, but the schedule must be checked for the specific mould. Provide the model or dimensions, expected weight, materials, operations, trials and target date; state whether this is a new mould, a modification or maintenance. The company must confirm resource availability, dependencies on technical approval and purchased components, validation milestones and logistics timings. If storage or phased shipments are needed, agree space, duration, handling and the relevant terms.
