From Solid Material to Perfect Molds

In numerous industries, high-quality molds are an essential part of the manufacturing process. Founded in 1978, OM.AS S.r.l., based in Rovato in northern Italy, has established itself as a prominent supplier in this field. Regional customers in the automotive, food, and pharmaceutical industries rely on the high-precision parts manufacturing and die and mold production capabilities of the 30-person team. The comprehensive range of services begins with support for customers’ development departments. Experienced specialists create efficient CAM programs. High-precision machining and finishing of the aluminum molds – often rotational molds – complete the process. OM.AS has been ensuring the precision of these complex workpieces since 1980 using machine tools from DMG MORI. Production today encompasses eleven models. Large gantry machines form the backbone of manufacturing. Three DMU 270 P and three DMU 210 P machines each operate around the clock.

Challenge 

  • Increasing demands for precision, complexity, and sustainability
  • Manufacturing large and complex free-form surfaces for various industries
  • Growing competitive pressure and the need for more efficient production processes
  • Reducing setup times and avoiding scrap in one-off mold production

Solution

  • Implementation of DMG MORI 5-axis simultaneous machining with DMU 270 P and DMU 210 P machines
  • Use of large gantry machines for heavy and complex workpieces
  • Centralized CAM programming and digital process monitoring with DMG MORI Messenger
  • Integrated measurement technology and large tool magazines to optimize production processes

Added Value

  • Fewer setups through 5-axis simultaneous machining
  • Reduced setup and downtime
  • Unattended overnight machining for higher productivity
  • Increased process reliability through in-process measurement
  • Faster response times through digital machine monitoring

Results

  • Reduced setup times
  • Higher productivity through unattended machining
  • Improved process reliability
  • Less scrap and lower production costs
  • Increased machine utilization
  • Enhanced competitiveness through optimized processes and advanced CNC technology

Thanks to 5-axis simultaneous machining, we now produce our workpieces in fewer setups – and do so unattended overnight.

Using large gantry machines from DMG MORI, OM.AS manufactures high-quality components and molds for the automotive, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
