Canada's Tycos Expands Use of think3 Products
 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.
