Mantle Offers Major Software Update for Automated Toolmaking System
New innovative toolpathing strategies decrease print times for tool inserts by up to 20% while improving surface finish on downfacing surfaces.
Mantle has announced a software update that delivers substantial performance enhancements to its customers, increasing production throughput by up to 20% while introducing enhanced surface finish on downfacing surfaces, the company says.
The software update extends Mantle’s surface finish quality to downfacing surfaces and undercuts in molds, sliders and other complex tools. This enhancement enables manufacturers to create tooling components that go directly to molding with even fewer post-processing requirements, further reducing lead times and labor costs. Available to all new and existing customers via an over-the-air software update.
