CATIA V5 - Week H - Core, Cavity & Mold Design (5 days)

Duration

5 Days

Objective

FMP: Functional Molded Part

Define the main shapes of a molded part as added or removed material

Add functional features such as ribs or cutouts to the part

Finalize the molded part using the feature modifiers such as fillets or patterns

Use the multi-body approachExtract cores and cavities from the final part

Mold Tooling Design

Create the mold base having guided and fixed components using Mold

Tooling Design workbench

Build the complete assembly of a Plastic Injection Mold.

TG1: Tooling Design

Create the die and mold components using Mold Tool Design workbench.

Instantiate the components in a die or mold structure.

Core & Cavity Design

Import the part to a mold

Define the main pulling direction

Update mold areas by transferring, splitting and segregating faces

Create a parting surface

Use functionalities dedicated to stamping

Perform a geometric comparison of two parts

Profile
