Steps in Mold Design

1. the design of the mold product feasibility analysis, computer chassis as an example, first of all the components of the product drawings using the design software for the group analysis, that is, we work in the so-called set of drawings to ensure that the correctness of the product drawings before the mold design, on the other hand, you can be familiar with the components of the importance of the entire chassis to determine the key dimensions, so that in the mold design is very good, the specific set of drawings Methods here will not do a detailed introduction.
2. In the product analysis of the work to be carried out after the analysis of the product to analyze the use of what kind of mold structure, and row of products for the process to determine the content of the process of punching, and the use of design software for the product development, in the product development in general from the subsequent project forward to unfold, for example, the amount of a product needs to be five processes, stamping is completed in the product development from the product drawings to the four engineering, three engineering, two engineering A project, and unfold a graphic after copying a copy of the previous project to expand the work, that is, the completion of the five works of the product development work, and then carry out detailed work, note that this step is very important, and at the same time need to be particularly careful, this step is completed, then, in drawing the mold map will save a lot of time, the contents of the stamping of each project to determine the content of the product, including in the molding die, the thickness of the product material Inside and outside of the mold, to determine the size of the convex and concave mold to use, for the product to expand the method is not described here, will be in the product to expand the method of specific introduction.
3. material preparation, according to the product development plan for material preparation, in the drawing to determine the size of the template, including the fixed plate, unloading plate, convex and concave mold, inserts, etc., note that directly in the product development plan for material preparation, so that the drawing of the mold is a great benefit, I have seen a lot of mold designers directly on the product development plan for manual calculations to prepare the material, the efficiency of this method is too low, directly in the drawing of the template specifications Dimensions, in the form of grouping diagrams, on the one hand, you can complete the material preparation, on the other hand, in the mold parts of the work to save a lot of work, because in the drawing of the components of the work only in the preparation of drawings to join the positioning, pins, guide pillars, screw holes.
4. in the preparation of materials can be fully into the drawing of the mold, in the preparation of drawings and then make a copy of it out for the drawing of the components, such as joining the screw holes, guide pillar holes, positioning holes and other holes, and in the punching die in a variety of holes need to be wire cutting through the wire holes in the molding die, molding gap between the upper and lower die, must not be forgotten, so after the completion of the work of the mold after the completion of a product has almost 80% of the map completed, the mold. In addition in the process of drawing the mold map need to pay attention to: each process, refers to the production, such as clamping line, wire cutting and other different processing procedures have a complete production of a good layer, so that the wire cutting and drawing management has a great benefit, such as color differentiation, etc., the size of the labeling is also a very important work, but also one of the most troublesome work, because it is too much of a waste of time.
5. After the completion of the above drawings, in fact, can not issue drawings, but also need to proofread the mold drawings, will be all the fittings set up, each of the different mold boards to make different layers, and to the same benchmark, such as the guide pillar holes, such as the analysis of the mold set up, and will be the product of various processes unfolding map into the set up of the map to ensure that the templates holes are consistent as well as bending position of the upper and lower mold gap with the correct or not.
