Application of SolidWorks in mold design


In the increasingly competitive mold manufacturing market, users will require designers to shorten lead times and lower product prices, otherwise they will forward their business to lower-priced suppliers. Mold developers can't find a breakthrough in the design process to reduce costs and shorten lead times. Therefore, companies must ensure that the mold products fully meet the precise geometric requirements and machining parameters proposed by the customer.

If the mold does not work properly on delivery, the company needs to consider the cost of making the required modifications to the mold. SolidWorks Office Gold Edition software provides a unique set of tools designed to automate and validate mold design, helping companies meet the challenges of today's mold manufacturing market, making them faster in developing molds. , better precision and higher efficiency.

SolidWorks Solution Partners provide a library of standardized and specialized mold parts that designers can automatically drag and drop into mold designs and mold assemblies. Because SolidWorks software is fully integrated, any modifications made to parts, assemblies, details, or bills of materials are automatically applied to all associated parts.

SolidWorks Office Gold Edition software helps designers improve accuracy, save time, and increase profit margins in mold development. By using SolidWorks software, designers can automatically confirm the undercut position, complete the side core, verify the traction angle, set the split line, create a separation surface, detect unique injection fill features, and ensure mold durability. With SolidWorks software, designers can manipulate all functions in the same modeling and face-to-face environment that they are familiar with. In addition, a full range of mold libraries and other standard components can be used and integrated with computerized digital control (CNC) processing applications.

Proposal tender

Most Proposal Requests (RFPs) include a 3D solid model or a set of 2D representations that set the geometry of the injection molded part. The first step in the tender for the proposal is to review the geometry of the parts provided by the user. SolidWorks software can open more different kinds of CAD files than other design systems. Whether the designer receives an intermediate file format (such as DXFTM, DWG, IGES, STEP, etc.) or a proprietary format for other systems, the SolidWorks software allows designers to use these geometries. Due to data errors that are prone to import geometry from other design systems, SolidWorks software provides a comprehensive set of tools to troubleshoot and troubleshoot imported files. Designers can automatically create stereo models during the import process by simply combining the various parts of the intermediate file into a solid geometry. The SolidWorks software also provides diagnostic testing tools that help designers group parts into individual models.

After the designer completes the component geometry import, designers can use the SolidWorks integration tools to gather information and make quotes about mold development costs. Designers at MoldflowXpress can estimate whether a practical mold can be created from the original 3D model of the injection molded part. Designers can even determine the feasibility of modeling based on geometry, injection location, material type, and processing conditions. This information will make it easier to determine the number of gates and the gates and cooling systems required. Designers can use SolidWorks undercut detection to find areas of the part that require side operations to get the part out of the mold. The SolidWorks software also includes a “thickness detector” that detects areas of the part that are less than the specified thickness. This insufficient thickness phenomenon, if not corrected, may cause other problems during the manufacturing process.

These mold analysis tools allow designers to quickly assess the feasibility of a part's modeling as designers respond to RFPs. With this capability, designers can significantly reduce mold design and test costs. The reason is that in the early stages of the design process, the time and expense required to solve the problem is less, and the proposal will be more precise, because the designer can indicate potential problems to future customers in the process of writing the proposal.

Ball Valves

There are five general body styles of ball Valves: single body, three-piece body, split body, top entry, and welded. The difference is based on how the pieces of the valve-especially the casing that contains the ball itself-are manufactured and assembled. The valve operation is the same in each case.

In addition, there are different styles related to the bore of the ball mechanism itself.

Ball valves in sizes up to 2 inch generally come in single piece, two or three piece designs. One piece ball valves are almost always reduced bore, are relatively inexpensive and generally are throw-away. Two piece ball valves are generally slightly reduced (or standard) bore, they can be either throw-away or repairable. The 3 piece design allows for the center part of the valve containing the ball, stem & seats to be easily removed from the pipeline. This facilitates efficient cleaning of deposited sediments, replacement of seats and gland packings, polishing out of small scratches on the ball, all this without removing the pipes from the valve body. The design concept of a three piece valve is for it to be repairable.
