Molded Product Design for Manufacturing (MPX)
CATIA PLM Express
Boost the detailed design of cast, molded and forged parts
Overview
CATIA - Molded Product Design for Manufacturing accelerates detail design of cast, molded and forged
parts with substantial productivity gains. Concurrently, designers create fully associative parting surfaces,
cores and cavities of the most complex parts. The advanced process-driven functionalities avoid the need
of complex and repetitive use of surface and wireframe operations and reduce learning activity.
Benefits
- High productivity gains in defining molded, cast or forged parts
- Less learning activities and time spent in complex surface and wireframe definition
- Optimize or create more variants of parts with huge gains in design modifications
- Functional modeling : focus on what you want to model and not how to model it
Capabilities
- Highly productive definition of specific drafts and fillets for forged or complex cast parts
- Associative core & cavity separation with parting lines and surface definition
- Wide range of discipline oriented features that take into account manufacturability constraints:
Extrude, Revolve, Cut, Thicken surface, Rib, Boss, Cutout, Rest, Pocket, Grill, Reinforcement,
Shell, etc,. - Order-independent feature creation resulting in history-free part construction
