	Mold Tooling Design in a Nutshell
	The Mold Tooling Design application helps you design a complete injection mold, from the mold base to the components using user-defined and standard catalogs. The Mold Tooling Design User's Guide has been designed to show you how to create a mold base and add all the required mold components to it.
	Before Reading this Guide
	Prior to reading the Mold Tooling Design User's Guide, you are recommended to have a look at the Infrastructure User's Guide for information on the generic capabilities common to all products.
	Getting the Most Out of this Guide
	To make the most out of this book, we suggest that a beginning user reads the Getting Started chapter first of all and the Workbench Description to find his way around the Core and Cavity Design workbench. The User Tasks section gives a quick description of the operating mode of the various actions, whereas the Methodology section helps you make the most of those actions.
	Accessing Sample Documents
