What you'll learn

Students will be able to add mold components such as core, cavity, sprue, gate, runner, ejection rods, cooling channels, and various standard parts in NX.

Using of mold wizard library, besides adding standard mold components, students will be able to customize them to meet the dimensional requirements.

Finally, students will be introduced to popular Molding defects, only to ensure their inclination towards knowing the importance of an efficient Mold design.

The course is also equipped with a live project from a client. This will help students in knowing the process behind closing such business deals.

Requirements

To use Mold Wizard effectively, you should be familiar with mold design and common NX commands. In the Modeling application, you should be familiar with: Feature modeling Free form modeling Sketching Curves Layers

Need NX , MOLDEX3D, Easyfill software

Description

The Mold Wizard application was developed and tested with continuous input from mold designers and manufacturers. This ensures that the application meets the needs and priorities of mold makers, and answers real-world design challenges.Mold Wizard has design tools and procedures to automate the difficult and complex tasks involved in mold design. The application saves you time throughout the design process and provides full 3D models to manufacturing. If you alter the product design, you lose very little time because changes to the product model are associative to the mold design elements.Parting is the process of creating a core and cavity based on a plastic part model. The parting process is an important part of the plastic mold design, especially for parts with complicated shapes. The Parting module automates this process by providing key tools.Mold bases and component libraries are included from a variety of catalogs. Custom components, including sliders and lifters, sub-inserts, and electrodes, are also provided in the Standard Parts module. The Standard Parts module allows you to associatively place components with fitted pockets.Mold Wizard provides a user-friendly way to manage different kinds of standard parts. You can use the standard parts in the library, and customize the standard parts libraries as required.
