Mold Design and Analysis
• Solid Works 2010 : software used to design molds beginning with
reverse engineering master pattern file or via manual development;
user can add sprues, gates, vents, knock-out pins, support
structures, draft angles, cooling lines etc.; mold design is output to
IGES format for Moldflow analysis or CNC machining.
• Moldflow 2010: software used to simulate injection molding
process, used iteratively with Solid Words to optimize mold design
prior to final production
Injection Mold Simulation
