Die trend

mold CAD / CAE / CAM being integrated, three-dimensional, intelligent and n etwork direction (1) mold software features integrated

Die software features of integrated software modules required relatively comple te, while the function module using the same data model, in order to achieve Syndicat ed news management and sharing of information to support the mold design, manufac ture, assembly, inspection, testing and production management of the entire process to achieve optimal benefits。 Series such as the UK Delcam's software will include a sur face / solid geometric modeling, engineering drawing complex geometry, advanced re ndering industrial design, plastic mold design expert system, complex physical CAM, artistic design and sculpture automatic programming system, reverse engineering and complex systems physical line measurement systems。 A higher degree of integration of the software includes: Pro / ENGINEER, UG and CATIA, etc。。 Shanghai Jiaotong

University, China with finite element analysis of metal plastic forming systems and Di e CAD / CAM systems; Beijing Beihang Haier Software Ltd。 CAXA Series software; Jilin Gold Grid Engineering Research Center of the stamping die mold CAD / CAE / CAM systems 。

(2)mold design, analysis and manufacture of three-dimensional

Two-dimensional mold of traditional structural design can no longer meet mode rn technical requirements of production and integration。 Mold design, analysis, manu facturing three-dimensional technology, paperless software required to mold a new ge neration of three-dimensional, intuitive sense to design the mold, using three-dimensi onal digital model can be easily used in the product structure of CAE analysis, tooling manufacturability evaluation and CNC machining, forming process simulation and in formation management and sharing。 Such as Pro / ENGINEER, UG and CATIA soft ware such as with parametric, feature-based, all relevant characteristics, so that mold concurrent engineering possible。 In addition, Cimatran company Moldexpert, Delcam 's Ps-mold and Hitachi Shipbuilding of Space-E/mold are professional injection mold 3D design software, interactive 3D cavity, core design, mold base design configuratio n and typical structure 。 Australian company Moldflow realistic three-dimensional flo w simulation software MoldflowAdvisers been widely praised by users and applicatio ns。 China Huazhong University of Science have developed similar software HSC3D4

。5F and Zhengzhou University, Z-mold software。 For manufacturing, knowledge-base d intelligent software function is a measure of die important sign of advanced and pra ctical one。 Such as injection molding experts Cimatron's software can automatically g enerate parting direction based parting line and parting surface, generate products corr esponding to the core and cavity, implementation of all relevant parts mold, and for au tomatically generated BOM Form NC drilling process, and can intelligently process p arameter setting, calibration and other processing results。

(3)mold software applications, networking trend With the mold in the enterpris e competition, cooperation, production and management, globalization, internationaliz ation, and the rapid development of computer hardware and software

technology, the Internet has made in the mold industry, virtual design, agile man ufacturing technology both necessary and possible。 The United States in its "21st Cen tury Manufacturing Enterprise Strategy" that the auto industry by 2006 to achieve agil e manufacturing / virtual engineering solutions to automotive development cycle short

ened from 40 months to 4 months。

mold testing, processing equipment to the precise, efficient, and multi-direction

(1)mold testing equipment more sophisticated, efficient

Sophisticated, complex, large-scale mold development, testing equipment have
