What You Can Do with Mold Design and Casting
Mold Design and Castingis an optional module for Creo Parametric that provides the tools to simulate the mold and cast design process. This module lets you create, modify, and analyze the mold and cast components and assemblies, and quickly update them to the changes in the design model.
Mold Design and Casting, together with Creo Parametric, provide tools to do the following:
Design Part Creation and Modification
Create models
Import and repair geometry if necessary
The import functionality can be used with the following: See Data Doctor Option and Interface
Analyze if a design part is moldable, using Draft Check and Thickness Check capabilities
Automatically create parting lines and detect undercuts using Silhouette Curve functionality
Fix problem areas by creating draft, rounds, and other features as needed
Cavity Creation
Assemble and orient design model dynamically while checking draft and projected area
Apply a shrinkage that corresponds to design part material, geometry, and molding conditions
Automatically create the workpiece stock from which core, cavity, and inserts will be split
Create parting geometry, including sliders, inserts, automatic parting lines, and automatic parting surfaces
Automatically split the workpiece to create cores, cavity, and inserts as solid models
Create and assemble sand cores for cast design
Mold Layout Creation
Create top level mold assembly
Placement and patterning of mold cavities to allow multi-cavity molding
Online selection and automatic assembly of standard mold bases
Modification of mold base plates to allow for assembly of mold cavity
Online selection and automatic assembly of ejector pins and other Mold Catalog items
Automated creation of runners
Automated creation of waterlines, including 3-D waterline interference checks
Define and simulate mold opening and check for interference between mold components
Drawing Creation
Create complete production drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, automatic bill of materials (BOMs) with or without balloon notes
Use of drawing templates
