Spanish term or phrase: reparación de utillajes de forja
Hi everyone,

This appears in the description of an ecodesign project, carried out in a Spanish firm with the help of an Industrial Engineering student:

Proyecto:

El objetivo del proyecto es la obtención de un proceso semiautomático para la ***reparación de utillajes de forja***, obteniendo de esta manera un proceso de reparación más sostenible, reduciendo recursos y tiempos de operación.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to translate this?

Best regards,

Jack

English translation:molding tools repair
Explanation:
"Forja" translates as forge or forging, but a search for "utillajes de forja" brings up a list of items that matches a search for "molding tools" in English much more closely than it does a search for "forging tools".. Forging tools in English seems to refer more to the anvils, hammers and such that you forge metal with. The term "utillajes de forja" seems to be most commonly translated as molding tools. Hope this helps!

Explanation:
One often sees 'forja' referring to the material, rather than the process of forging. Then again, this could well be "forging implement repair"

Explanation:
I have found several instances of "tool/equipment repair" and "forge tools" or "forge equipment"; I believe it is safe to say either "forge tools repair" or "forge equipment repair".
