| Effective engineering efforts begin at the earliest
stages of program development. Our engineering input ideally begins
with design assistance, long before Trace or its customer is awarded the
job. We firmly believe our up-front input can reduce our customers
costs and time to market. |

Trace Engineers have access to Unigraphics, Catia, and Pro Engineer
in order to ensure solid modeling compatibility with our customers.
Die design capabilities include the use of Magmasoft- a metal fluid flow
simulator. This process tests cavity fill via heat transfer to identify
potential problem areas before the design is finalized and the tool is
built. Finally, Trace Die Cast engineers continually work on improving
and updating their educational background so that they can offer our customers
the latest breakthroughs in die casting techniques and engineering technologies. |
| Trace's engineering advances include the use
of a 3D modeling environment which communicates directly with a servo driven
coordinate measuring machine (CMM). This technique improves both the speed
and accuracy with which we can measure and certify parts. |
