SOLIDWORKS is the industry-standard software for designing and manufacturing molds. If you’re looking to improve your mold design and SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation skills, then our instructor-led SOLIDWORKS Advanced 2 training course on Mold Design and SOLIDWORKS Plastics is the perfect choice for you. This course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in using the software to optimize your mold designs and reduce production time and costs.

The Mold Design module covers a range of essential topics, including surface concepts, core and cavity creation, side cores, and advanced parting line options. You will also learn how to create custom surfaces for mold design, perform advanced surfacing, and work with reusable data. The training will provide you with the knowledge and practical experience you need to complete the mold base and design molds that meet your specific manufacturing requirements.

The SOLIDWORKS Plastics module will cover a range of essential topics, including basic flow analysis, detecting a short shot, automation tools, injection locations, and sink marks. You will also learn how to work with different materials, manipulate meshes, detect air traps, and analyze gate blush. Additionally, you will learn how to optimize packing and cooling times, work with multiple cavity molds, and perform symmetry analysis. The training will also cover valve gates and hot runners, reaction injection molding, and other advanced molding techniques.

By the end of the course, you will have acquired a comprehensive range of skills that will enable you to create molds, set up the manufacturing process, and run simulations using SOLIDWORKS Plastics to validate and optimize your mold designs. This course is perfect for engineers, designers, and manufacturers who want to improve their skills in mold design and SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation. The training is delivered through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, allowing you to practice your skills and engage in discussions with the instructor and fellow participants
