Introduction

NX Mold Wizard is an application which provides tools to design plastic injection molds. In this book, You will learn the design process of Injection Mold is discussed.

NX 11.0 Mold Wizard, a product of SIEMENS Corp., provides advanced modeling tools for creating the components of mold such as cores, cavities, parting surfaces, cooling channels, sliders, lifters, and sub inserts. Due to these advanced modeling tools, it is easy to use and design the 3D associative injection mold and also the changes made in the component are automatically updated in the mold.

Mold Wizard contains a mold base library and a standard parts library which help in placing parts associatively. You can customize the standard parts library as per your requirement and can use the library to shorten the tool design and also the manufacturing cycle time. Also, you can accelerate and optimize the mold design process by using standardized processes and components. NX Mold Wizard streamlines the development of mold design process from part design to tool assembly layout, tool design, and tool validation.

Using NX Mold Wizard, you can an...
