Thank you! That is good suggestion. The thing is my boss won't like outside design and make the die. The other problem is I could not find some die maker in Ontario, Canada. We have problem with most of our current die, too. The software for profile extrusion die would be US$25000+TAX+training. I have thought the software would help me with die simulation and design, so I can go ahead to modify the die....
I don't think why I could not follow my former post, so I copied the former post:
I'm not sure what the cost is of the software you are considering but I do know that the cost of a poorly designed die can be enormous. Given both your personal and your company's inexperience in die design and manufacturing, you may just want to pay the cost of having a tooling company both design and make the die for you. This is especially true if as you indicate, having new dies made will be a relatively rare occurance. If your profile is especially complicated, I would recommend having a multi-plate profile die made up. This makes for easier and less expensive modifications if the die needs to be tweaked later to get the performance you desire from it.
