Obviously a completely integrated package from one developer means that the part, the tool, the drawings and the machining are all linked, all of the time, so changes and improvements are handled with ease. […]
the problem facing manufacturers is CAD/CAM data exchange. Design data useful for manufacturing is often lost as the solid model data moves from CAD to CAM. Data incompatibility results in more repair work and lost time. […]
One of these problems is a shortage of knowledgeable experienced manufacturing engineers who can actually generate the code for the CNC machines in the most optimized manner to maximize profitability. […]
Despite the claims made about paperless mold design, all toolmakers still require some drawings for their manufacturing, inspection and assembly departments. […]
Once the core and cavity have been finalized, work can begin on the remainder of the mold assembly. […]
Surface modelers still have two general advantages over solid modelers for the first stage of the mold design, the creation of the core and cavity. […]
The main methods for creating designs are solid modeling and surface modeling. Surface modeling was the earliest form of CAD. […]
First rate mold company with our experience and expertise in 3D technologies can help you in 3D Plastic product design. […]
Cast to the net shape mold blanks–Another effective measure used to extend mold life is the use of cast to net shape tools with their as-cast gating system and cast to net shape mold cavity. […]
Repair by welding–Permanent molds made of steel exhibit longer life because deteriorated areas may be repaired by conventional welding. […]
