Carbide Endmills

Designed for Manufacturability (DFM) under the dimensional customizing category.
See Services to get a better understanding of DFM.

This is a product line for a client that designs and manufactures Carbide endmills. This client has many types of endmills that have a standard size range as well as many possible variations of custom sizes and features. The client hired Synergic Productions to design a master program for each endmill in their product line. The master program is a fully parametric program capable of auto generating any possible variation of the endmill by analyzing the user defined variables and calculating the changes they make to the parametrics. The series of steps outlined below are to help you get a detailed explanation of how Synergic Productions creates the master program and what the master program actually does.

The next step begins with identifying parametric variables and user defined variables. Once those are determined the product is designed and modeled in SolidWorks. This is a one time step never again will any modeling or designing be necessary!

Once the model has been created, custom “native environment programming” begins; this is the brain behind the operation. The programs job is to analyze the user defined input and calculate the change to the parametrics. Click the link below to preview what the program processes for one of the endmills.

Once the program has done this its next job is to relay that data back to SolidWorks and any associated files ie. BOM’s, tolerance tables, inspection lists, parts, assemblies, and drawings. To see an associated file, click the link below.

Now that SolidWorks and all associated files have been updated with values that the program has computed, the last step is simply opening the auto generated 2D shop prints and making a few minor adjustments to the dimensions and drawing views for presentation purposes. Every dimension, every tolerance and every note is 100% fully automated! Click the link below to preview the auto generated 2D shop print for one of the endmills. Note: All proprietary and confidential information has been concealed with “Θ”, “?” or “0”.
