Gibbs engineering department provides a full service, customer focused technical division. Our engineers are highly knowledgeable in optimizing part design, die design and construction, die casting alloys, process and quality control and the production of high quality parts while maximizing die life.
State-Of-The-Art CAD Systems
Gibbs Die Casting does all tool designs, part prints, and 3-D CAD models using Unigraphics. However we can also accept CAD data in C3P Ideas, Catia, DXF, STEP and Parasolid formats. Gibbs utilizes EKK Inc.'s Flow/Solidification software and Thermal Distortion software to analyze and determine optimal tool configuration prior to tool builds.
Gibbs engineering services include:
- Program quality engineers assigned to each customer will follow their customers projects from inception to the production floor.
- Tooling engineers ensure that the most exacting customer specifications and dimensional criteria are met.
- Design engineers use the latest CAD technologies to design both product and tooling to the customer's specifications.
Gibbs Engineering provides our customers with:
- Technical, on-site product design assistance for aluminum and magnesium castings
- Mold flow process simulation, thermal analysis with the latest 3-D CAD software
- Production tooling built with CNC machines by Audubon Tool, our in-house full capability large tooling facility
- Production intent and prototype tooling built in a 3 to 5 week time frame
- Production tools are built with premium grade materials, using CNC machines and verified with CMMs prior to initial castings
