ORIGIN Software Shortens Launch Cycles

By DE Editors

ORIGIN International Inc. (Markham, Ontario) announces LaunchRite, a new approach that analyzes dimensional data from samples from the first iteration of the stamping process and identifies changes to the dies that result in acceptable parts from the second iteration on.

LaunchRite eliminates the need for costly trial-and-error tooling changes and results in a shortening of the launch cycle, avoiding the need for containment, sorting, and scrap. This CAD-based metrology application provides manufacturing engineers the tools to deliver tooling that produces acceptable parts all the time after the first iteration.

To introduce LaunchRite, Origin is providing a unique "shadow project" approach. Origin application engineers will work in parallel with stamping manufacturers on a new product launch, providing an apples to apples' comparison to currently used methods. This is a no-cost, no-obligation, approach to evaluating a new technology with stamping parts as well as die castings, using manufacturers' data.
