Entering the Mold Tooling Design Workbench
This task shows you how to enter the Mold Tooling Design workbench.
1. Select the Start ->Mechanical Design -> Mold Tooling Design command to open the required workbench.
The Tooling Design workbench is now active:
Note that "Product" is displayed in the specification tree, meaning that you are working in a Product Structure.
Note that the Part is now mentioned in the specification tree.
l The part file must contain the part itself along with all the surfaces required for the core plate and the cavity plate split.
l We advise that the split surface for the CavityPlate should be named CavitySurface, and that for the CorePlate CoreSurface.
l The part number (in the properties) must be MoldedPart.
Defining the Mold Base
This task shows you how to create and define a mold base.
1. Select the Insert->MoldBase Components >Mold Plates command from the main menu bar or click directly on the
Create a New Mold icon in the tool bar.
A dialog box is displayed for you to define the parameters of the mold base to be created :
Simultaneously, the outline of a mold base is displayed on the part.
2. Click on the catalog icon to open the catalog browser.
Click on OK to validate your choice then repeat this step for the Core.
The outline of the mold base is displayed with a different color for each plate.
5. Click on OK in the ' Create a new mold ' dialog box for final validation of the mold base.
The mold base is created.
Note that the mold feature is created in the position and orientation of the molded part and is indicated in the specification tree.
Do not hesitate to change the Render Style according to your working preferences.
CavitySurface is given as the proposed splitting surface in this case because a surface with this name was found in the MoldedPart ; if no surface with this name is found ( No Selection ) you will have to choose one (from the MoldedPart , for instance).
Click on Display direction to show the direction in which the split will occur and then click on one of the orange direction arrow on the mold to make sure the split will be upwards.
3. Proceed the same way with the core plate by selecting it from the Ejection Side in the specification tree and applying a split action via the contextual menu.
No selection is given as the proposed splitting surface in this case because no CoreSurface was found in the MoldedPart. Select CoreSide in the PartingBody in the specifications tree.
4. To obtain a better display of the completed split on the cavity and the core plates, hide the molded
part and the injection side display using the Hide/Show contextual command. Here is what you should obtain:
Inserting Leader Pins in a Mold Base
This task shows you how to insert mold components into a selected mold base.
In this exercise you will insert 4 leader pins that will be positioned on already existing points.
1. Click on the Add Leader Pin icon. 2. Use the browser to open the associated catalogs and select the Dme supplier:
Continue into detailed definition of the leader pin with the following selection:
