Design better molds to produce more successful products. Learn how to import, design, and modify plastic parts in SolidWorks, and how to quickly and easily create mold cavities, assemblies, and drawings.
How SolidWorks Functionality Addresses Critical Business Issues:
- Meet customer delivery- Customer needs fast design tools that are production qualified specialized functions for mold design
- Keep Operating costs in check – Customer needs CAD tool with a low cost of ownership; one CAD system that can import all CAD formats rather than maintaining many CAD systems
- Keep customer happy with reliable molds – Customer needs CAD tool with the ability to check mold reliability, fit and function
- Ensure design and mfg efficiency – Customer needs CAD tools that are powerful yet easy to learn and use
- Provide accurate estimates – Customer needs CAD tool that allows him to import and work with any CAD data; Data management system that allows him to find old designs and data quickly
- Eliminate design mistakes before mfg – Customer needs CAD tool with ability to check for interferences and update drawings views and BOMs
- CAM integration with my existing CAM system – Customer needs CAD tool that integrates with his CAD systems
- Must be able to create all of the mold geometry accurately – Customer needs CAD tool that can handle all the mold geometry including complex surfaces, large complex assemblies, and complex drafts and fillets
- Import and fix customer data - Customer needs CAD tool that allows him to not only import any CAD data, but also repair and modify this data easily
- React quickly to customer changes - Customer needs CAD tool that makes it easy for him to modify the design and have all the drawings update automatically
- Validate the design before manufacturing - Customer needs CAD tool that allows him to check undercuts, draft and wall thickness as well as perform stress analysis on the mold.
