Mold Design is a core profession in the mold manufacturing industry, primarily responsible for designing mold structures and formulating manufacturing processes based on product requirements. This role requires proficiency in 3D design software such as UG and AutoCAD, combined with CAE tools like MoldFlow to conduct molding simulation analyses, ensuring mold precision and production efficiency. Key design tasks include defining parting lines, arranging process layouts, optimizing structural components, and integrating expertise in stamping/injection molding process characteristics and dimensional tolerances. Mold designers must possess comprehensive professional competencies, including development timeline planning, cost estimation, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report preparation, and familiarity with mold assembly and debugging procedures.
