How SOLIDWORKS helped these industries
Accelerated Mold Design with Automated Tools
SOLIDWORKS provides specialized features for core and cavity creation, parting line detection, and mold base generation, reducing manual effort and design time.
Integrated Tooling Design for High Precision Manufacturing
Engineers easily designed injection molds, dies, and stamping tools using parametric modeling and standard tooling libraries built into SOLIDWORKS.
Advanced Draft Analysis and Undercut Detection
Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation, aerospace teams performed real-time stress, fatigue, and thermal analysis to ensure structural integrity without needing physical prototypes.
Simulation for Mold Flow and Thermal Performance
Through SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management), multiple teams collaborated on large assemblies, ensuring version control and eliminating design conflicts.
Seamless CAM Integration for Toolpath Generation
SOLIDWORKS helped ensure designs met aerospace industry regulations (like AS9100, FAA guidelines) with built-in documentation tools and traceability features.
Reduced Lead Time with Library of Standard Mold Components
Access to pre-built libraries of standard mold bases, ejector pins, lifters, sliders, and cooling components helped reduce design cycle time significantly.
