Tooling & Mold Design

World wide competition has put significant pressure on mold & tooling designers/builders to find new strategies that can differentiate their companies and win new business. Creating designs faster is a key challenge, as is the ability to work with all major CAD design tools and customer designs that are flawed by errors in manufacturability, translation errors between design software packages, or difficulties with surface models. Successful mold & tooling providers must:

  • Interrogate CAD models quickly
  • Deliver time and cost sensitive quotes
  • Translate the data effortlessly
  • Design molds & tooling using CAD data received
  • Eliminate rework and waste from mistakes
  • Respond seamlessly to ECO changes and collaborate effectively between teams
  • Exchange design data with CAM systems

Once the tooling designer has prepared a model for manufacturing, the KeyCreator toolset helps define and select geometric features for rapid extraction of part shapes into inversely-shaped tooling models. The KeyCreator approach of trimming, splitting and stitching models is ideal for both model creation and integration of all types of solid, surface, wireframe and 2D data provided by customers. As the design progresses, KeyCreator makes it easy to react to customer changes or explore alternative ideas.

Best-in-class solutions to the everyday challenges facing mold and tooling providers has enabled KeyCreator customers to win business because they are faster than the competition. When differentiation and speed count, leave the history behind and use KeyCreator's real geometry-based solution. Proven time and again, the seamless exchange of non-native CAD data, flexible solid modeling and surfacing tools, and smooth integration with CAM systems allow designers and builders to get the information they need, when they need it in preparation for manufacture.
