Advanced Plastic Design Features Course Overview
This course will introduce you the fundamental principles of mold design for plastic parts. You will learn how to create a mold cavity and core, design the injection feeding systems as well as other required components for a mold. You will also learn how to analyze and document design using Inventor Tooling.
The primary objective of this courseware is to provide users with a thorough understanding of the principle requirements and components of a plastic part mold; how to design, validate and document an injection mold design using Autodesk Inventor
What Will You Learn?
- Describe the characteristics and process of creating a plastic part mold design and begin the process of creating a mold assembly.
- Create the mold core and cavity after configuring and analyzing the part.
- Complete the creation of a mold design by adding mold layout features and assembly design components.
- Analyze the overall mold design, generate 2D drawings and explain how to provide DWF files to others
