Significant increases in R&D expenditures of Schumacher for new product segments and management tools have led to continuous improvements in competitiveness.
Based on a series of other R+D projects, a current example for the innovative capacity of Schumacher is the comprehensive construction-, calculation- and production-system ToolDesign.
The objective:
- ToolDesign represents a unique software-based system for developing, producing and administrating rotation-symmetric cutting tools
Over the past years, ToolDesign has developed into a core component of the Schumacher network - serving it as a know-how base. The roots to this system come from the entirely parameter-based item structure and geometry basis.
This allowed our R+D team to draw upon the results of various previous projects and combine the constructional, calculatory and database-relevant requirements for the production of rotation-symmetric precision tools.
ToolDesign features:
- Pricing for quotations
- Parameterized 3D – volume models
- Production drawings
- Generation and transfer of data for CNC-production machinery
- Providing Know-How Data to B2B partners
