The relationship of Product and Mold Analysis
Compare Part for ChangesWhen the design model changes, you need to know what changed. Look for tools that make it easy to detect what is different in a part; […]
The relationship of Product and Mold Design
Power to Handle Complex GeometryFor the software to be usable for plastic part design, it must be powerful enough to handle the complex geometry. The system must possess round, draft and complex surfacing capabilities. […]
CAD System Support Design and Validation In One Window
Whether designing the mold for an iPod or a refrigerator door, moldmakers are always looking for faster methods to help them produce molds. […]
A Special Solution in mold design
In recent years a new generation of specialized mold design CAD systems has begun to appear. By automating the tedious parts of the mold design process, […]
A Complex Challenge in mold design
When plastics were first gaining popularity, parts were simple. Most products were designed on a drawing board, so it was natural that the tooling was designed that way as well. […]
What is Direct Methods of Rapid Tooling?
All of the previous methods of rapid tooling involve the indirect production of a master pattern from which the tool is produced. […]
What is Direct AIM tooling?
Rather than making a master stereolithography pattern around which a material is cast, it also is possible to build the cavity directly on the stereolithography machine. […]
What is SLS RapidSteel?
In the same way that a cavity can be generated directly by stereolithography, it also is possible to build tool cavities directly using the laser sintering process. […]
