Introduction to Creo Elements/Direct Mold Base
Creo Elements/Direct Mold Base is mold design software embedded in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. It has been conceived to free mold designers from tedious work such as creating mold plates and components, as well as detailing slots and holes within the mold plates.

Creo Elements/Direct Mold Base is much more than a 3D Solid based mold library; it is an Object Oriented Parametric Application. Its different components are defined by their degrees of freedom, including geometric information and relative positioning of parameters.
See how this is accomplished through Steps in designing a mold base.
