The greatest challenge facing manufacturing engineers today is finding time to improve quality, speed, and innovation in moldbase design and detailing. The solution that the world’s most successful moldmakers turn to is PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX).
PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) is an indispensable add-on tool for moldmakers and toolmakers that eliminates time-consuming, tedious tasks and the need for data translation that typically slows down the product development process.
Expert Moldbase Extension allows users to create moldbase layouts in a familiar 2D environment and automatically generate a 3D model to leverage the benefits of 3D design. The 2D process-driven GUI guides you toward your optimal design and updates automatically during the development of the moldbase. You can choose from a catalog of standard components (DME, HASCO, FUTABA, PROGRESSIVE, STARK, etc.) or customized components. The resulting 3D models are then used for interference checking during mold opening, as well as for automatic generation of deliverables such as production detail drawings and BOMs.
Expert Moldbase Extension increases design speed because the unique graphical interface gives you quick, real-time previewing before the 3D component or assembly is automatically placed. Once your components are placed, operations such as clearance cuts and drilled and tapped holes are automatically created in the appropriate neighboring plates and components, thus eliminating tedious and repetitive mold detailing tasks. PTC Creo EMX also enables moldmaking companies to capture their own unique design standards and best practices directly within the mold assemblies and components.
If you’re looking to accelerate moldbase design and find more time to development better quality, highly innovative designs, then PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension is your perfect solution.
