We are using Solidworks 2017 for our mold designs. Many of our Clients are using the same software which has quickly become the industry standard for part design. As a result collaborating over part designs and revisions is streamlined. We are able to develop a complete injection mold based on your final part design.
Solidworks
Solidworks delivers robust 3D design capabilities, performance, and ease-of-use. Complex mold designs change constantly during part development. Constant import, export, and repair of data, as designers move models between part and mold design, can consume valuable design time and introduce errors and inaccuracies due to data translation.
Solidworks provides an advantage with design and validation of parts and tooling in one system. Designers can validate that parts can be molded successfully, including checking for draft, thickness, and undercuts to ensure the correct geometry for molding. Additionally, designers can use Solidworks Plastics to simulate mold filling and determine the best gate locations, whether the part will fill correctly, where weld lines might form, and possible sink locations.
