In a world where time equals money, GÜNTHER Hot Runner Systems (gunther-usa.com) has developed an on-line automated hot-runner configurator designed to save toolmakers a little bit of both. With the mold’s geometrical and rheological data, article weight and injection time, CADHOC quickly determines 3D data and negative volume to guide tool-making applications. For modular hot runner components, CADHOC can configure the system within minutes.

Based on the Acatec Software GmbH power configurator, CADHOC is an add-on to SolidWorks 3D CAD (solidworks.com) software and provides direct linking to CAM systems.
