Summary:Until recently the task of mold design had been an art which, unfortunately, was a specialty of few mold designers. Even the standard of this art was not very refined since it was based on a long experience of failures and successes—more of the former than the latter. Now the development of efficient computer software and high-speed computers is transforming this art of mold design into a complete science. There are numerous advantages from computer-aided analysis and design which help to Optimize the location of cooling lines Produce defect-free parts Design the mold before the drawings are finalized Increase productivity Reduce time from part design to production Provide the production rate far in advance of production, aiding the planning of machines and the scheduling Eliminate the time wasted in modifying the mold when it does not perform as expected
