I made a part, we made the decision to make a mold for production.

What should I use to make a mold from the part created.

Thank you. Attached is a photo of the room.

in the Molding Tooled /Option tab

Molding Tools - Cavity

You can create simple molds using the Footprint Tool_Cavity_Mold_Tools.giftool .

The following items are required to create a mold using the Footprint Tool_Cavity_Mold_Tools.gif tool :
  • Imprinted parts - the parts you want to mold.
  • A mold carcass - the part containing an imprint function of the indentation part.
  • A temporary assembly - the assembly when the fingerprint is created.
  • Parts derived from components – the parts that become the halves of the mold after cutting them.
You combine the design parts and the mold frame in the intermediate assembly. You then create a fingerprint feature in the context of the temporary assembly. This action connects the mold frame to the design part in case the design part changes shape.
To create more complex molds, use the tools and techniques discussed in Molding Design.

Hello

You need to have the "Molding Tool" menu bar.

The easiest way is to put the tab (see attached image)

To use the molding tool, see the tutorial on my site:
