AST Technology GmbH announces the development of a new Tool Standard for cap and closure molds utilizing DT Series Collapsible Core, or C-Core, technology from sister company Roehr Tool Corp.
More than just providing a CAD
database, AST assists the mold owner through a
systematic process of comparing collapsible cores vs.
unscrewing tools, including ROI cost justifications, and
then, to ensure project-specific goals are pinpointed
and met, provides:
CAD library customization and installation

VoluMill
develops toolpaths optimized for volumetric material
removal, based upon desirable material removal rates, by
using continuous tangential motion, specialized contour
ramping and adaptive feed rates to achieve the highest
feeds and speeds possible. By leveling tool load,
maintaining constant machine-tool motion and using
high-speed-repositioning, the software produces more
efficient toolpaths, extends tool life and significantly
reduces cycle times.
