Tool Makers

Pro/ENGINEER makes life easier for Toolmakers. Its large assembly management tools simplify the process of working with complex mold base and castings. How simple? After the part is designed, just drop it in the mold and automate the creation of the core and cavity. Next, simulate the mold split, analyze the mold flow, and automatically generate the machine code to machine the mold base, all without any data reinterpretation.

Design Higher Quality Molds

• Create core, cavity, and mold base components
• Evaluate mold draft, undercut and thickness problems, and repair as needed
• Check for interferences and simulate mold openings

Create Progressive Dies

• Automate strip layout design
• Work with a large library of standard components
• Quickly create BOMs, drawings and hole charts

Simulate Plastic Fill

• Animate the plastic injection fill process
• Identify optimal injection locations and potential problems
• Improve design quality and reduce cycle times

Automate Machining

• Generate NC programs for CNC milling machines, 2-axis or 4-axis CNC lathes,and 2-axis and 4-axis CNC wire EDM machines
• Create a framework of step-by-step manufacturing instructions with a unique process-planning/route sheet tool
• Enjoy associativity between model,mold, and NC toolpath
