COC Corporation CATIA 3D Mold Tooling Implementation Case Study
Case study of COC Corporation's transition from 2D to CATIA 3D design for automotive mold tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
COC Corporation, a Taiwanese automotive sheet metal parts supplier, implemented CATIA in 2005 to meet complex OEM requirements. The company replaced 2D mold design with 3D shape design, CAE forming simulation, and associative modeling. Benefits include reduced design time, improved accuracy of weight and cost calculations, and enhanced design quality for production-ready tooling.
CATIA replaced 2D design with associative 3D modeling for die face design and CAE simulation
Automatic calculation of mold weight and production cost replaced manual estimates
Design time reduced and modification cycles shortened through 3D knowledgeware capabilities
Implementation addressed change management challenges for engineering teams transitioning from 2D
Future plans include standard parts library, parameterization, and PDM integration for cross-site collaboration
