Application of CAD/CAE/CAM Technology in Plastics Injection Mould Design and Manufacture

Abstract:

The process of injection mould design and manufacture was introduced by taking the cover as an example. Firstly, the 3D model of the part and the injection mould structure were designed based on SolidWorks software. Secondly, the injection molding progress was analyzed and simulated based on Moldflow software. Finally, the toolpaths of cavity and core were designed based on MasterCAM software, and its manufacture process and numerical control programming was simulated. The period of product development was shortened effectively and the quality of design and manufacture was improved by CAD/CAE/CAM integrated technology.
