Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI improve the tool & die making process?
Our AI optimizes machining sequences, heat treatment parameters, and finishing operations, reducing lead times and enhancing tooling quality. It continuously learns from past operations to minimize distortion and predict optimal manufacturing parameters for each tool design.
What tool steels do you work with?
At Wefab.ai we utilize a wide variety of tool steels including D2, A2, S7, H13, P20, M2, CPM steels, and specialty alloys. Our AI automatically adjusts machining parameters and heat treatment profiles for each steel’s unique properties and application requirements.
What are your typical turnaround times for tool & die projects?
Simple tooling components can be completed in 2-3 weeks, while complex progressive dies or multi-cavity molds may take 6-12 weeks depending on complexity. Critical wear components and replacement parts can often be expedited.
How do you ensure accuracy in tool & die making?
Our AI employs in-process probing, thermal compensation strategies, and controlled heat treatment processes. Each tool undergoes precision inspection, with capability for holding tolerances to ±0.0005″ on critical shut heights and mating surfaces.
What file formats do you accept for tool & die projects?
We accept STEP, IGES, X_T, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and other standard CAD formats. Our AI can also interpret GD&T callouts to ensure critical features meet specifications. For optimal results, parting lines and draft angles should be clearly defined.
What size tooling can you produce?
Our tool & die making equipment can handle tooling up to 48″ x 72″ x 36″ depending on the type. Larger tooling can be manufactured in sections and assembled with precision.
Do you offer tool try-out services?
Yes, we provide comprehensive try-out services for both stamping dies and injection molds. Our AI-controlled process monitors initial production runs, identifying potential issues and recommending refinements to achieve optimal performance.
How do you handle tool wear and maintenance?
Our AI analyzes wear patterns and failure modes to recommend optimal tool steel selection, heat treatment parameters, and coatings to maximize tool life. We also offer preventive maintenance programs and rapid response repair services for existing tooling.
Can you modify existing tooling?
Yes, our AI can analyze your existing tooling and recommend modifications to improve performance, extend tool life, or accommodate design changes. We specialize in engineering changes to dies and molds without requiring complete rebuilds.
What types of tooling do you specialize in?
We excel in manufacturing progressive dies, transfer dies, draw dies, trim dies, injection molds, blow molds, thermoforming tools, forging dies, and extrusion dies. Our AI platform is trained on decades of tooling expertise across multiple industries.
