What is tool and mould design?
Tooling and mold design is a complex process that combines the skills of various experts like tooling engineers, mold designers, material engineers, manufacturing experts, quality check experts, lab technicians, etc.
What is the role of a mould designer?
Mold designers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create plastic molds for manufacturing processes such as injection molding. The position entails designing molds using computer design software such as AutoCAD, Unigraphics, Pro-Engineer (Pro-E), Solidworks and CATIA.
What is the design process of mould?
1) A mould cavity defines the shape of the part.
2) Material (melted plastic) is injected under pressure into the cavity.
3) When the plastic cools it solidifies to take the form defined by the mould.
4) The part is ejected, and the process repeats from step 2.
