Overview

Welcome to the Core and Cavity Design User's Guide!
This guide is intended for users who need to become quickly familiar with the product.

This overview provides the following information:

Core and Cavity Design in a Nutshell

Core and Cavity Design is intended for:

  • a quick analysis of a molded part (cost feasibility),

  • the preparation of the molded part for mold design and mold manufacturing.

Core and Cavity Design defines the core and cavity sides of a part, including any sliders or lifters that may be required, so as to produce a MoldedPart ready to be used with Mold Tooling Design. It includes functions that define:

  • The pulling directions,

  • the parting line

  • the parting surface,

  • the splitting surface,

along with analysis and fine tuning capacities.
