Mold Tooling Design

Mold Tooling Design is a process-oriented app dedicated to mold injection tools that proposes two approaches.

Mold Tooling Design provides the following work Flow with a Mold Project

Roles Command
1 Add > Content
Mold Project
Create a Mold Project.
2
Molded Part Publications
Create publications of geometries, and positioning axes (Hook)
3
Insert Unit
Create Inserts for Core Side and Cavity Side.
4



Form Ejection Component Reservation and Place Component
Place Ejectors and cut them along the surface
5

Drilled Cooling Circuit and Conformal Cooling Circuit
Create Drilled Cooling Circuits or Conformal Cooling Circuits
6

Runner
Create Runners from Injection Points.
7

Prepare for Fill & Cool Simulation
Export data for simulation.
8

Multiple Prints Layout
Create multiple Prints.
9





Mold Base Configurator, Supplier Catalog Mold Base, Insert Existing Mold Base
Create or reuse a supplier or user Mold Base
10

Insert Adaptive Systems
Place Interlock, Lifter, Slider
11

Kinematics Simulation
Experiment kinematics of the Mold Base.

Another possible approach is working from a Mold Project:

  • You create a Mold Project.
  • You insert the design part in the Mold Project.
  • Mold Tooling Design guides you through the conception of the Mold Base (Conceptual or detail design), as you create:
    • Molded Part Publications
    • An Insert Unit (Optional)
    • A Multiple Layout Insert (Optional, applies only to multiprints)
    • A Mold Base.

You can also work with a product structure you have created, used as template.

Mold Tooling Design can be considered as a tools box for mold makers. Use these tools to create Cooling Circuits and Runners and to place Components, Ejectors or Adaptive Systems.

Mold Tooling Design is a nativeapp available on the Cloud or on Premises.
