Overview

If you work in a busy Die Casting plant, and never have enough time to fully analyse and calculate all the elements of a new job, then DC-CALC die design software will be a big help.

DC-CALC enables you to calculate all the important parameters in a Die Casting die in a fraction of the time.

Developed in a manufacturing plant over a six year period, this software has been incrementally refined into a useful industrial tool.

DC-CALC Software for Die Casting

You can quickly analyse many alternative die-machine combinations. Change the number of cavities and it will immediately tell you if it is feasible. Change the depth of the gate, and you can immediately see the effect on the gate velocity and cavity fill time. Change the die temperature, and it will tell you the effect on the surface quality. What's more, it displays a new P-Q diagram every time you make a change.
