This overview lists typical mold design tasks and the SolidWorks functions that provide solutions to help you complete those tasks.
Task categories:
| Procedural |
Procedural tools create the mold and tools that enable you to display the model along different stages. |
| Diagnostic |
Diagnostic tools show problem areas on the model. As you create the mold, you can examine the model for potential problems that might prevent the core and cavity from separating. |
| Corrective |
Corrective tools repair the flaws, such as surface gaps, discovered by the diagnostic tools |
| Administrative |
Administrative tools manage the models, facilitating the flow of information between designers, engineers, manufacturers, and managers. |
