You can use cutting data stored within tools to transfer optimum feed, speed, and depth of cut parameter values into NC sequences. Cutting Data Theory • Optimize parameter values • Data based on: – Workpiece material – Tool – Application ♦ Roughing/finishing Figure 1 – Cut Data Tab Cutting Data Creating and …

The workcell specifies the type of machine used when creating NC sequences, for example, mill, lathe, or mill-turn. You must specify a workcell before you can create NC sequences. Workcell Configuration • Name • Type – Mill, Lathe, Mill-Turn, or Wire EDM • Number of Turrets • Post-Processor • Probing Option Figure 1 …

Configuring manufacturing operations form part of the set up for the manufacturing procedure. An operation and a machine tool must be configured before NC steps can be created. Manufacturing operations contain: • Fixtures (Optional) • Machine Coordinate System • Retract Plane • Start/End Points (Optional) • NC Sequences Figure 2 – …

The manufacturing process can be divided into four high-level steps: Figure 1 – Creating the Manufacturing Model Figure 3 – Creating NC Sequences and CL Data Creating the Manufacturing Model Figure 2 – Creating the Manufacturing Environment Figure 4 – Post-Processing CL Data and Machining Creating the manufacturing model is …

You can simulate the mold opening process by defining steps and moves in the mold model. • Define steps. • Define moves within steps. • Rules: – Each step can contain several moves. – Components can be in only one move per step. – A move may contain several members. Figure 1 – Fully …

Ejector pin clearance holes are created in mold components so that ejector pins can pass through and push the molded part out. • Ejector pin holes are similar to conventional holes. – You can specify a different diameter through each intersected component. • Available types: – Linear – Radial – Coaxial – On Point …

You can rename extracted mold components and apply start models to them. • Benefits of using templates: – Datums – Layers – Parameters – View Orientations • Because each mold component is a part model, it should be renamed accordingly. Figure 1 – Extracted Mold Component Model Tree Figure 2 – Renaming Mold Components …

You can use multiple parting surfaces to split a workpiece or mold volume. • You can use multiple parting surfaces in a single split operation. • You can use multiple parting surfaces in multiple split operations. Figure 2 – Selecting Multiple  Parting Surfaces Figure 1 – Model Tree Containing Two Parting Surfaces Figure 3 – …

A saddle shutoff typically requires you to create multiple surfaces to achieve the desired shape. • Create the surfaces. • Perform surface manipulations. • Merge the surfaces to create the final shutoff. Figure 1 – Saddle Surface Created Figure 2 – Face Surfaces Created Figure 3 – Final Saddle Shutoff Creating Saddle …

You can add or modify the direction that the skirt surface extends from the silhouette curve segments. • Extension directions can significantly alter the shape of the skirt surface. • Arrows denote direction at each segment vertex. – Orange – Default direction – Cyan – User-defined direction – Red – Tangent direction • Select …
