Introduction

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for creating a plastic 4-cavity mold project using Mold Tooling and Solid Edge.

As you work through this tutorial, you will construct the mold base shown in the illustration.

In this project you will select and reorient the Solid Edge part for which the mold is designed, create the core and cavity inserts, pattern the inserts, create the core and cavity parting plates, and finally create the mold base.

This tutorial does not demonstrate everything you can do with Mold Tooling and Solid Edge. Its purpose is to show you how powerful the Mold Tooling commands are, and to get you started so you can learn more on your own.
