Mood Tool Design

Load an entire mold base plate set in just minutes using standard and user-defined catalog parts:

- Load an entire mold base plate set in minutes utilizing standard and user-defined catalog parts. 
- Design the core, cavity and sliders using feature-based design as well as direct modelling tools. 
- Use dedicated tools to add lifters, inserts ,ejectors, cooling systems, gates and runners.
- Validate your design with measurement, analysis and collision detection tools
as well as FEA and ECO analysis.
- Create and reuse drawing templates incorporating customer specifications
​using dynamic multiple, shaded views.
- Add BOM and table of holes to your drawings taking into account machining attributes.

Electrode Design and Manufacturing

- Create electrodes easily and in record time using Hybrid Electrode design of surfaces and solids covering the entire design process.
- Ensure an error-free burning process, with quick definition of spark gaps, 2D or 3D orbiting, and rough offsets.
- Centrally define electrode and machine parameters and control the electrodes sent for burning.
- Create complete 2.5-5-axis machining procedures at the click of a button.
- Quickly create and edit mirrored electrodes by intelligently mirroring the electrode’s geometry, without mirroring the holder and the base.

NC Programming 2.5 - 5 Axis

• Use built-in CAD to add surfaces and contours, cap holes and slots, extend surfaces and apply drafts and rounds.
• Achieve efficient roughing and high quality finishing with a range of 2.5–5-axis optimized machining strategies.
• Dedicated plate machining seat generates efficient toolpaths for plate machining and drilling.
• Machine with confidence using material removal and machine simulations.
• Access a rich library of post-processors for 3- and 5-axis machines, and all leading controllers.
• Automatically generate NC Setup and Tool Table reports.
• A wide range of new, advanced NC Strategies for Pocket, Cleanup, Chamfer, Roughing, and Finishing.
