MILAN, Italy, Sep 3, 2008 - Tycos, a Canadian provider of automotive tooling, continues to deliver cutting edge products and tooling services thanks to continued collaboration with think3, the only supplier to offer technology solutions that combine product concept, engineering and tooling environments.

ThinkDesign solutions by think3 provide a single design environment which streamlines design processes and allows for an unparalleled interoperability that dramatically reduces margin of error. This significantly cuts design time and costs which allows products to hit the market much quicker, and this directly translates into real benefits to the bottom line.

“We chose think3 many years ago for its high reliability of tooling solutions” said Patrick Radice, General Manager of Tycos. “Over the years this has proved successful and thanks to ThinkDesign and HyperCAD we’ve been able to meet the needs of increasingly demanding customers all over the world”.

For Tycos, another important plus in this durable collaboration has been the quality of service and support provided by SolidCAD, Ontario's leading provider of software, training and technical support for the CAD/CAM industry. SolidCAD plays an integral role on the think3 support team for Tycos, bringing a wealth of experience in the automotive market and in third party applications, such as hyperMill, for manufacturing and hardware integration.

think3 has recently released its 2008.1 version of ThinkDesign solutions for toolmakers and technicians. ThinkDesign features improvements to the Compensator functions and offers a powerful solution for calculating the compensation required for sheet metal spring back. The improvements concern mesh loading, calculation, checking and the extraction of curves and points to ensure better performance and optimized results in comparison with the initial shape. The Die Design module, for designing dies in the sheet metal environment, is new. The new module offers functions for defining cutting lines and for compensating local and targeted GSM spined twist.

“At think3 we constantly develop cutting edge design and PLM software to meet customer demands and help them deliver innovative products”, said Filippo Zuccarello, CEO, think3. “We are pleased to contribute to Tycos’ success and we believe our consolidated experience working with such an important tooling company will help us improve our offer of tooling solutions to help customers meet the competition”.

Tycos Tool and Die of Concord, ON, is a division of Decoma International, and one of the plastics industry’s largest mould makers.
