SolidWorks application in mold design (4)

Design change change

SolidWorks Office Gold Edition software allows designers to connect interrelated parts together; therefore, if one of the parts changes, all parts associated with it will change accordingly. When a customer modifies a design and sends a new CAD file to the designer, the designer can import the CAD file into the original part design and use the new file to automatically update the mold design.

With SolidWorks software, designers can also ensure that any changes in the program are automatically updated in all product documentation to avoid costly errors; these product documentation includes parts, assemblies, and drawings. As a result, designers can use the 2D drawings of the base to control the size of all or part of their parts. When changing the layout, the locating pins, positioning bushings and other parts will automatically change to the appropriate size.

The SolidWorks software provides a powerful tool for identifying differences between two versions of a unified part. This feature is extremely useful when a customer sends a new version of a part during the mold development process. Designers can synchronize different versions of drawings to compare geometry, dimensions, and part features, and apply feature parameters and attributes from one version to another. These tools will help designers understand how a design revision will affect an existing tool design.

With SolidWorks Animator, designers can complete animation information and let customers see how virtual molds work, so they can fully understand the design. The SolidWorks Animator allows the designer to show how the active part of the mold works, and to disassemble and fold the assembly to show how the individual parts fit together.

The animation process can be presented in the form of a wrap around the entire mold, or the mold plane can be rotated 360° to allow viewing of the mold from any angle.

Testing and manufacturing

SolidWorks Corporation works with industry-leading computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software companies to provide a range of powerful CNC programming solutions for grinding, turning and electronic shipping operations. Because certified CAM solutions can use SolidWorks-specific geometries and are fully integrated with SolidWorks, design changes are fully reflected in the CNC program. The certified CAM product also integrates with the SolidWorks design model for single-window integration, allowing CNC program channels to be built into the familiar SolidWorks environment. Other types of SolidWorks certified gold products offer more integrated analytical solutions for mold design verification, automated mold development, and component design and modification.

For design and manufacturing service providers using SolidWorks software, the SolidWorks manufacturing network simplifies the search process for these businesses. By working with SolidWorks special files, companies don't have to worry about the conversion or regeneration of design files. Companies can easily find the right suppliers in the network by browsing or keyword search in 21 different areas; these include grinding, electronic shipping processing and reverse engineering analysis.

SolidWorks Office Gold Edition software can help mold design companies increase profitability. Designers will be able to eliminate quality issues by reducing the time required for proposal writing and mold design work and reviewing them during proposal development and design development; otherwise, these issues may not be discovered until the prototype development phase. By providing a variety of integration features, the SolidWorks design environment will help designers automate many of the steps in the design process. In addition, a wide variety of powerful analysis tools will allow designers to validate mold designs with software prototypes, ensuring that the right design is completed before it is put into production. More integrated solutions enable designers to greatly simplify the transition to the manufacturing process and achieve more efficient and effective communication with their customers. SolidWorks Office Gold Edition software gives designers the tools they need to complete mold design in a fast, accurate, and cost-effective manner – and the path to success in an increasingly competitive processing market environment.
