DONT LEAVE !
Model Preparation:
Analyzes draft angles of faces, based on a mold pull direction.
But what is mold pull direction ?
Model Preparation:
Green Faces Positive Draft
Red Faces Negative Draft
Yellow Faces REQUIRE Draft
(maybe)
Floating the cursor over any face will
display the draft angle of that face
Model Preparation:
Used to grow (or shrink) the model geometry
Want to scale the molded part
slightly larger so that when it
cools (and shrinks) it will be the
right size.
Usually 5%...
Can do Uniform scaling or
scale differently in the X,Y,Z
directions
NOTE:
change
HANDS-ON
DRAFT ANALYSIS for 3 using Plane 1
Add DRAFT (3) where needed
Top of ribs as Neutral Plane
16 faces on ribs
Mold Creation:
Used to establish the Parting Line
Works exactly like the Draft Analysis
command
The edges that are shared by the
core and cavity (green and red)
faces will be automatically chosen
Can deselect from the list and/or
also MANUALLY choose parting line

Mold Creation:
What Next ??
11
Mold Creation:
Used to close-off areas where Core would bleed into Cavity
12
13
Mold Creation:
A ribbon-like surface to SPLIT the Core from the Cavity
Uses the Parting Line
Usually perpendicular to pull dir.
Tangent to Surface
Normal to Surface
Perpendicular to
Pull
14
Mold Creation:
Automates the creation of the Cavity & Core solid bodies
15
w/ Interlock Surface
Rectangular block
10mm UP, 30mm DOWN
Exploded View
16
Undercut Analysis
Finds trapped areas on the part
Example of Undercut Analysis
17
Ejector Pins
Electrodes
Multi-Part Molds

Real Life
What about when the automated Mold Tools dont work ??
Use them to get what you can !
Really need to know SURFACING after that
