Abstract
Although Brazil is a producer of stamping tools, most of the Brazilian market is dominated by Asian producers, and Brazilian tooling companies respond only for 0.4% of the global market. When producing die tools for the automotive industry, few Brazilian tool shops are considered apt to produce high complexity parts subjected to strict quality requirements, such as class A surfaces and B columns. To improve the competitiveness of the Brazilian tool shops, the Route 2030 Brazilian Program set up a specific line for funding research projects related to this sector, called Ferramentarias Brasileiras Mais Competitivas (in English More Competitive Brazilian Tool Shops). This line is composed of four axes, among which the first three support the development of technologies at different TRL (Technologies Readiness Levels). The fourth axis is related to the setting up of demonstrators that should be used as a reference to identify bottlenecks for the Brazilian tooling industry competitiveness. In this context, this paper describes the methodology adopted for setting up two demonstrator projects: DEMESTAA – Demonstrador de Estampagem de Superfícies Classe A (in English, Class A Surface Die Demonstrator) and DECOLAB – Demonstrador de Estampagem de Coluna B (in English, B Column Die Demonstrator). The paper describes the organization of a consortium encompassing more than 20 industrial partners, including representatives from material suppliers, service and software suppliers, tool shops, automotive OEMs, among others. It presents the project organization and the role and contributions expected from the project partners. It examines the complementary role of the two leading Institutes of Science and Technology in the project: ITA and FGV. It discusses the concept and requirements of a“demonstrator” project to achieve the purposes of the Route 2030 Program. Furthermore, it shows the results in identifying bottlenecks for the Brazilian tooling industry competitiveness and describes future activities.
