The Mold Design for the Mouse Bottom Cover Based on EMX Software

Article Preview

Abstract:

Injection molding is a major manufacturing method for the fabrication of plastic parts for multi-industrial aspects. The mold design technology experienced the development process of manual draft, 2D CAD design to 3D CAD design. In this paper, the main functions of EMX are introduced firstly. Then the design procedures are presented for molding parts by adopting Mold Cavity functional mould in Pro/E software and the mold base by using EMX software. At last, a mold for the mouse bottom cover is designed using the given method. The result shows that integrated 3D design of mold has significant advantages on reducing labor intensity, improving design efficiency and quality.
