JK Machine Leveraging NX for Seemless Mold Making Process

CAD/CAM Software Brings Process Automation for Mold Design, Machining

As their proud and preferred Siemens partner of Siemens’ NX integrated software, we helped JK to improve mold quality and reduce lead time by 50 percent. The plastic-injection molds are manufactured for Tier-One and Tier-Two automotive and medical device suppliers, which demand short delivery times for complex molds with better mold parting lines, better finishes and tighter tolerances.

The model-driven process in NX enables JK to develop complete mold assemblies from the CAD part models provided by their customers. When customers send revised models, the design changes automatically propagate to the mold components’ design and NC programs.

It’s quotes like this that make us ecstatic to be partnered with JK Machine: “The support we get from CAM Logic, Inc. is especially important when we get new versions of the software,” says Henry Kalkman, president of JK Machining.
