Creating a Sample Mold Base from Suppliers Components

You can create a sample Mold Base from an empty Mold Base product or a Project Unit using available components of Mold Bases from various suppliers.

The generated Mold Base and its associated components may not be up-to-date with the supplier definition. It is a sample data, to use for training or to initiate a customer specific template.

This sample Mold Base can be created with or without components, with or without impacts.

See About Mold Bases for details about the tree, and limitations.
