Exclusively for Extrusion Die Makers


ExtrusionManager is an easy-to-use Product Data Management (PDM) solution developed for managing aluminum extrusion dies.

ExtrusionManager provides full lifecycle management and revision control of extrusion die models and drawings, ensuring the right information reaches the right people at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Features

 

How much time have you spent searching for an extrusion die model or a file? Have you ever had to recreate a model because you could not find the original? How much time have you lost designing something, only to later discover that a colleague had already modeled a similar die design? If you are not using an integrated Product Data Management (PDM) system, you are likely to experience these situations repeatedly.

ExtrusionManager extends the core functionality of ExtrusionPower to enable users to find, create, upload, modify, and save models directly from ExtrusionPower into a shared common database,
where users can work in a team environment to manage, share, and track data.

ExtrusionManager specializes in highly iterative, "work-in-progress" design environments. Its full integration with ExtrusionPower allows automated product data management to naturally reach into the design process — from initial concept through to released product designs.
As an indispensable part of ExtrusionPower 3D product design, ExtrusionManager organizes development efforts and structures 3D models, 2D drawings, and
related files in a centralized database.

Eliminate the time and expense of manual data management processes. Ensure design integrity and work with the latest revisions of design data within the development team, with safeguards against accidental data loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

ExtrusionManager is a Product Data Management (PDM) solution that works together with ExtrusionPower. It is essential that all aluminum extrusion die manufacturing processes — from 2D Design to 3D Design, and then to CAM and Simulation — are seamlessly connected and managed within a single shared database. ExtrusionPower is the industry's unique solution capable of delivering all these technologies in a single software package. ExtrusionManager covers the PDM domain of this integrated solution.
Reduce time spent searching for production data. Keep all die manufacturing data available and stored in a single database. Eliminate misunderstandings. Guarantee that everyone is working with the latest version of models and drawings. Individual access rights via intranet and/or internet. Manage the relationships between 2D die drawings, 3D models, CNC programs, simulation data, and other documents. Reduce costs through automatic BOM generation from the database for other departments. Save time by avoiding manual, redundant, and error-prone processes when reusing data and workflows.
Save valuable time by answering questions such as: Where is this support being used? Which dies were produced for which customer and which press? When and by whom was this die last modified? Which components are used in this die set and work together with it? What price is given for this die or a similar one? What is the current status of an item — approved and/or released? What are the associated CNC files and simulation reports for this die project? Can I update this document? Do I have the correct permission to modify this document? What die corrections have been made for this die?
