The Development Of Typical Part Rapid Design System Of Injection Mould

With the wide application and popularization of Mould CAD technology, the traditional design approach was also renovated, and these greatly improve the quality and efficiency on mould design. Meanwhile, in response to the fast changes in the market, users demand to shorten the cycle of mold design. But at present, various types of CAD software which are now widely used, for the consideration of universal property when they were developed, are short of professional, so there is limitation in improving the efficiency of mold design.With the complexity of product structure and the diversification of appearance, typical parts are used more and more wildly in injection mould and the modeling of these typical parts have great impact on the efficiency of mold design. Based on UG NX we develop this Typical Part Rapid Design System of Injection Mould by using the VC++, and the Secondary Development Tools OPEN API & MenuScript which are supplied by UG NX.The system is composed of the Typical Part Management and the Data Management System. Which the Typical Part Management is directed to the users' demand, develop various extensional functions, including model loading, parameter modification, and the change of loading way. The Data Management System contains all the parametric models, parameter library, bitmaps and config notepads, and it is the base that the Typical Part Management can run. Based on the original model and related database, find out the basic construction and extended functions, finalize the UI design. Based on the association of original model, database and derivative parts, we actualize the rapid design of Typical Part, which improve the efficiency of mold design substantially.
