The first CIM product offered by Autodesk

Autodesk Inventor Tooling Suite gives designers and engineers intelligent tools and mold base catalogs to quickly and accurately generate mold designs directly from the digital prototype. The Inventor model is an accurate 3D digital prototype that helps mold, tool & die manufacturers validate the form, fit, and function of mold design before it is built. Sharing a single digital model allows engineering teams to design products while manufacturing teams concurrently design the associated molds avoiding costly manufacturing errors and significantly shortening delivery times.

AutoCAD Inventor Tooling Overview

When designing a mold, Autodesk Inventor Tooling works directly from the digital prototype maintaining a high level of accuracy. Full associativity to the Inventor digital prototype allows any changes that are made to the part model to be automatically reflected in the mold design helping to ensure that the mold base design is consistent with the new part geometry. Together, this allows the whole mold design process to be accelerated while maintaining quality.

 

Autodesk Inventor Tooling guides you through the mold design process and automates a number of complex operations, such as patching openings and creating runoff/shutoff surfaces. The system provides an extensive library of mold bases and components from vendors which are in use worldwide. Using parts from the library, molds can be produced more efficiently and cost effective.

 

The result is higher quality products and faster time to market.

 

A Single Digital Model

A single digital model is a real advantage of Autodesk Inventor Tooling. Using a single digital model as the core for both design engineering and manufacturing engineering allows the concurrent design of products and tooling. Costly manufacturing errors, which commonly exist in disjointed design and manufacturing systems, are avoided by using this approach. Working from a single representation ensures that every aspect of the product development process has access to the current product information even when changes occur. And working from a single digital model shortens the overall time to deliver the product while maintaining quality.

Training can be arranged on or off-site for all products by experienced engineers.

Standard Mold Design Flow

Autodesk Inventor Tooling has implemented the following standard mold design flow:

  • Place Part
  • Define Workpiece Settings
  • Create Parting Design
  • Design Side Core(s)
  • Define Layout
  • Create Feeding System
  • Create Cooling System
  • Specify Mold Components
  • Trim Model
  • Generate 2D Drawings

This workflow is both familiar and intuitive to experienced mold designs. The system’s implementation of it allows inexperience users to be able to step their way through a complete mold design with little difficulty.
