Class Description
This class will walk attendees through the process of designing, analyzing, and validating a plastics injection mold using Autodesk Inventor Tooling. We will cover everything from automatic core and cavity generation to utilizing the built-in Moldflow simulation technology and standard libraries of mold components to quickly and effectively design a high-quality production mold.
Key Learning
- Importing and analyzing the plastic part for manufacturability
- Defining the parting plane and patching (shut-off) surfaces
- Generating the core and cavity for multi-cavity and family molds
- Using flow simulation to identify gate locations and potential molding faults
- Accessing mold bases and components from standard supplier libraries, and creating 2D drawings and BOMs for mold designs
