The demand for speedTool design and manufactureis on the critical path for thedevelopment of many products.The demand for muchshorter product deliverytimes, faster turnaround ondesign enhancements, lowersupplier costs and increasingglobal competition havedramatic impacts on thetoolmaking business.The need for skillsThe complexity of tool designand manufacture traditionallyrequires highly skilled peopleapplying knowledge learned overyears of practice. These resourcesare difficult to obtain or replace.Companies can gain competitiveadvantage by effectively leveragingspecialized, best-practice knowledgein tooling development.Improving qualityQuality of the end productdepends directly on high-qualitytooling. To achieve quality, tooldesigners and manufacturers mustintegrate their work with theproduct development effort. Bydynamically linking tooling designswith product designs, companiescan automatically propagate designchanges to production tooling,achieving first-time quality.Reducing wasteTo achieve speed and costobjectives, tool designers andmanufacturers must eliminatewasted time, effort andresources – not only betweenproduct development and toolingdevelopment, but also throughoutthe tooling design, optimizationand manufacturing process.Transforming the processNX from UGS is a next-generationsolution that transforms thetooling development processwith advanced automation.Knowledge-driven applications fortooling design and manufacturingare fully integrated with theoverall product developmentprocess in a managed environmentthat improves productivity,accelerates the process,reduces waste and cost andimproves quality.
The NX Tooling advantageHighly automatedtool designNX offers a powerful set ofautomated applications formold and die design.These applications enable theuser to complete the task ofmoving from part design tofinished tool design in far lesstime than with the use oftraditional CAD applications.Maximizing productivityMold and die tool design in NXis driven by the knowledge ofexperienced designers built intothe functions. The applicationsguide the user through eachstep of the process, multiplyingthe capability and maximizingthe productivity of everytool designer.Based on thepremier foundationThe NX applications forinjection mold, progressivedies and transfer dies are builton the comprehensive NXdesign software. This meansthat the very best in modeling,assembly modeling and draftingtechnology is providing thefoundation for these highperformance applications.Delivering businessefficiencyNX Tooling delivers a muchhigher level of businessefficiency, leading to reducedcost, increased activity andhigher margins. It helps achievethese results by developingeffective tool designs fasterand with fewer errorsand corrections.Working with other systemsAt the core of NX is theParasolid modeling foundation,an industry standard in 3Dmodeling technology developedby UGS and widely used inCAD/CAM and CAE applications.This foundation providesunmatched compatibility forworking with 3D data.In fact, NX tool design applicationscan work with almost any type of3D input data. NX makes it easyto build 3D models from 2Ddrawing data.In addition to reading Parasolidgeometry, NX can use awide range of data from otherCAD systems in their nativeformats and translate a varietyof other formats with dataconversion tools.A complete solutionWith NX, tool designers can share the same software environmentas product and part designers and NC programmers.Thisenables the overall process to be faster and more efficient.Changes can be implemented more easily and with fewer errors.Wasteful re-entry of data is eliminated and multiple users canshare the same 3D data.The tool designer, NC programmerand manufacturing engineer can begin work even before theproduct design is complete.1
Automated mold design with NX Mold WizardNX Mold Wizard applies Process Wizard technology to optimizethe mold design process, delivering levels of productivity thatdramatically outperform traditional CAD software. Providing astructured workflow based on expert best practices, automationof mold-specific design tasks and libraries of standard moldcomponents, NX Mold Wizard provides a step-by-step processthat promotes the most efficient workflow, while integratingcomplex elements of design technology into automated sequences.Mold Wizard is built on NX, the industry’s most powerful productdevelopment system. As a result, the tools for working with partgeometry, creating parting surfaces and enabling automatic updatesare among the most robust available. Less capable systems mayhandle basic parts and molds, but Mold Wizard can tackle themost demanding tasks.Stepping through the processwith NX Mold WizardAt each stage the power of NX adds value, making the task easier,the mold better and the job faster.Mold design begins with the product model.With NX, the mold designer can import 3D partdata from other systems, open many native formatCAD files or select parts designed in NX.NX includes tools for evaluating part designsfor moldability. With these analysis aids,mold designers can assess and validate partmodels and compare differences when thepart design changes.NX automates parting surface definitionand maintains associativity of the partingsurface even when the part model changes.Based on the defined parting surface,NX creates mold cores and cavitiesautomatically using the part geometry.2

Molded part validationCan the part be molded?The sooner a design is checked for manufacturability the soonerproblems can be fixed. NX design validation tools enable the userto analyze the part and automatically obtain information about draftangles, undercut areas and sharp corners – elements that wouldmake the part impossible or difficult to mold.NX can also provide the designer with an easy visual check ofcore and cavity sides that doesn’t require any special analysis orknowledge of mold design. By catching problems early, designerscan avoid the wasted time and effort that occurs when the toolingdepartment or supplier discovers that a part can’t be moldedas designed.Molded part validation Wall thickness checkDraft angle displayPlastic feature check (corner radius, feature distance, etc.)Find manufacturing featuresColored region-based parting line definitionP R O V E N R E S U LT SNX validates molded parts by checking wall thickness. Results are displayedin easily interpreted color-coded areas on the part model.Toward Six SigmaUsing NX Mold Wizard,The Tech Group not only achieveda 20 to 25 percent gain in productivity but also achieveda 50 to 75 percent gain in quality.The company believes that NX Mold Wizard’s contributionto automation, accuracy and consistency will help themachieve Six Sigma goals.NX ensures part and tooling design quality by evaluating draft angles,undercuts and crossover faces that affect moldability.4
