Manufacturing parameters enable you to control how an NC sequence is generated. It is important to understand the different ways in which you can configure manufacturing parameters. Manufacturing Parameters Theory • Control NC sequences • Examples: – CUT_FEED = 100 – SPINDLE_SPEED = 500 – STEP_DEPTH = 2.5 – SCAN_TYPE = …

You can use solid model turning tools to enhance CL data display and check for interference when verifying toolpaths. Solid Model Turning Tools • Use parts or assemblies. • Play toolpaths. – View solid tool – Check for interference Creating Solid Model Turning Tools • Create part or assembly. • Create …

You can create NC model assemblies that consist of a reference model and a workpiece. You can then use NC model assemblies by assembling them into manufacturing models. Creating NC Model Assemblies • Create Stock Options: – Workpiece Shape – Overall Dimensions – Offset Dimensions – Rotation Offsets Figure 1 – Create …

Creating manufacturing models is the first step in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing models contain all manufacturing process information, such as: • Operations • Workcells • NC sequences • Reference models • Workpiece models Figure 1 – Using Template Manufacturing Models Manufacturing Models Manufacturing Models • Manufacturing model assembly file – “filename”.asm Figure 2 …

You can view information about your mold model any time you are in Mold mode. • View the following information: – BOM – Components – Cavity Layouts – Split Volumes – Created Volumes – Parting Surf – Split – Last Volume – Shrinkage Viewing Mold Information Figure 1 – Viewing Created Volumes …

You can create the molding by filling the mold cavity through the sprue, runners, and gates. • Molding parts: – Contain a Molding feature. – Are fully-functional parts. – Maintain a parent/child relationship with mold model components and features. • There can be only one molding part in the model. Figure 1 – Mold …

You can create sprues, runners, and gates to channel molten plastic into the mold cavity. • Create sprues using sketch-based features. • Create runners and sometimes gates using the Runner feature. • Section shapes include: – Round – Half Round – Hexagon – Trapezoid – Round Trapezoid Creating Sprues Figure …

The waterlines check helps to ensure that the waterlines are not too close to the external surfaces of the mold model. • To perform a waterlines check, you must specify: – Part – Waterline – Minimum Clearance • Color-coded results: – Magenta — Areas within minimum clearance. – Green — Areas outside minimum clearance. …

You can produce mold components by filling the previously defined mold volumes with solid material. • Mold component features: – Contain an Extract feature. – Are fully-functional parts. – Maintain a parent/child relationship with their mold volumes. • Mold component color-coding: – Reference model color – Blue – Orange Figure 2 – Extracted …

You can also split existing mold volumes to create volumes for sliders, lifters, inserts, and so on. • Split mold volumes using the Mold Volume split option. – Specify the volume to be split in the Search Tool. • The specified volume is split into one or two volumes. – Use a parting surface …
