BRIVIEW Saves Time, Increases Efficiency

A case study on how BRIVIEW adopted Expert Electrode (XE) and ETMX to streamline electrode modeling and design for any tool project that requires electrical discharge machining.

XE electrode design software provides a time-saving, step-by-step solution that automates the entire EDM process from design through production. It can help you manage the most complex and challenging electrodes.

Resolving Complexities

EDM electrode creation can be one of the most complex and time consuming projects for any Mold & Die maker. Expert Electrode (XE) offers a solution at every point of the manufacturing process from design to manufacturing. Even the most experienced electrode designer benefits from the knowledge-based automation provided by XE.

Rapid electrode design and seamless connection with EDM

With production centers in Xiamen and Suzhou, BRIVIEW is responsible for the design and processing of precision molds. They use PTC CREO to design molds and electrodes. Backlit LCD TV panels and shell mold require a lot of fine electrodes to ensure the function and structure are secured inside. ” With CREO standard features alone, we often experienced low efficiency, and high error rate.” , said a project manager at BRIVIEW.

Normally, a mold consists of 20-50 electrodes while the complex one would need up to 200 electrodes. As a result, Engineering department often recruit many electrode design engineers. However, the newly recruited engineers need extensive training for certain period before they could handle engineering design drawings. Efficiency cannot be effectively guaranteed as it depends upon individual engineer’s learning capability and proficiency.

Goal: To shorten the electrode design time, auto-complete electrode machining information

XE helps BRIVIEW electrode engineers design electrode quickly by establishing a standardized electrode design environment and a powerful clean-up toolset. And ETMX changed the traditional practice from manual input to auto fill-in, the electrode machining information is automatically generated as industry-specific XML format.

“Currently, electrode design is error-free.” Engineers highly appreciate of the performance of XE.
XE has played a key role in the electrode processing and discharge phase, saving costs and improve productivity.

The Result: From Days to Minutes

“XE and ETMX have simplified our processes to a large extent.”, explained engineer at BRIVIEW.

“The whole process of designing an electrode used to take days. Now we can do it within few minutes. ETMX and XE’s powerful features have dramatically improved our electrode design process.”
