Mold, Tool & Die

SOLIDWORKS software helps designers develop molds that are more accurate, save time, and improve profitability. With SOLIDWORKS software, not only do you have the ability to define mold geometry, but you also have access to a wide range of automated mold design tools. As a result, you can validate critical aspects of your mold designs before releasing them for production. Plus, you can automatically identify undercuts, complete side cores, verify draft angles, define parting lines, create parting surfaces, and ensure mold durability. Using SOLIDWORKS software, you can perform all these functions within the same familiar modeling and surfacing environment. What’s more, you have access to mold bases and other standard components, as well as integration with computerized numerical control (CNC) machining applications.

Manufacturing

The days when mechanical systems and products were strictly mechanical are rapidly coming to a close as products continue to become more capable and more complex. To some degree, these increasingly sophisticated products are virtually guaranteed to employ “mechatronics.” Depending on the product industry, mechatronics can be defined in several different ways. Generally, mechatronics is the integration of electrical and electronic components into mechanical enclosures and/or mechanical subassemblies.
