Structured Workflow

  • The step-by-step process applies the most efficient workflow based on expert best practices.
  • Automation of mold-specific design tasks like parting definition and cavity insert creation shortens lead time dramatically.

Molded Part Validation

  • Analyzing a part for manufacturability early in the process saves rework and tooling costs later.
  • NX checks and validates wall thickness, draft angle, corner radius, feature distance, and crossover faces to ensure the part is moldable.

Core & Cavity Insert Creation

  • NX automatically creates mold cores and cavities using the part geometry.
  • Visually check core and cavity sides without special analysis or knowledge of mold design.
