We use UG, PRO/E and Solidworks for mold design and product design. The software possesses the capability of direct split line generating from 3D product model. The GA was created in Auto Cad in 2D format; you will see the gating and runner system, ejection, cooling system, inserts, slides and venting system on the GA.
UG is also introduced into the CAM process. Data consistency is guaranteed by using the data from the CAD file for the CAM job of NC programming.

Using a Mold Flow program helps to ensure everything is right prior to manufactutre of the mold, saving time,money and frustration.
Top Star use Mold Flow software to simulate the resin flow for complex
components, this foresees the unexpected problems in future production
and gives good reference to the engineer to improve the mold design.
