xAt present, the mold software developed by the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and some universities and research institutes in my country has the characteristics of intelligence, integration and mold manufacturability evaluation of a new generation of mold CAD/CAM software. 　　The new generation of mold software should be built on a large amount of knowledge summarized from mold design practice. This knowledge has been systematically and scientifically sorted, stored in the engineering knowledge base in a specific form and can be easily called by the mold. With the support of intelligent software, mold CAD is no longer an imitation of traditional design and calculation methods, but under the guidance of advanced design theories, making full use of the rich knowledge and successful experience of experts in the field, the design results must be reasonable Sexuality and advancement. The new generation of mold software designs mold structures with three-dimensional ideas and intuitive feelings. The generated three-dimensional structure information can be conveniently used for mold manufacturability evaluation and CNC machining.

This requires mold software to perform three-dimensional parametric feature modeling and molding. Process simulation, CNC machining process simulation, information exchange, organization and management have reached a fairly complete level and have a high level of integration. To measure the degree of software integration, it depends not only on whether the functional modules are complete, but also whether these functional modules share the same data model, and whether they form a global dynamic database in a unified manner to achieve comprehensive management and sharing of information to support mold design , Manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing and production.　　

The mold manufacturability evaluation function plays an important role in the new generation of mold software. It is necessary to screen multiple solutions, evaluate the rationality and economy of the mold design process, and provide the mold designer with a basis for modification.　　In the new generation of mold software, manufacturability evaluation mainly includes the estimation of mold design and manufacturing costs, mold assembly evaluation, mold part manufacturing process evaluation, mold structure and forming performance evaluation, etc.  The new generation of software should also have assembly-oriented functions, Mould suppliers because the function of the mold can only be reflected through its assembly structure. After adopting the assembly-oriented design method, mold assembly is no longer a simple assembly of parts one by one. Its data structure can not only describe the function of the mold, but also define the assembly characteristics of the relationship between the mold parts, and realize the association of the parts. Can effectively ensure the quality of the mold.
