FaceWorks extends the SolidWorks solid modeling capabilities with powerful surface operations and structures the mold design process. FaceWorks simplifies the tool-making process dramatically and minimizing costs and manufacturing times.
Features:
- Draft advisor - optimal mold opening directions
- Automatic parting line generation – user controlled editing
- Automatic assignment of zero draft faces
- Multi-split – automatic definition of sliders, inserts and moving elements as solids
- Editing in split animation mode – assigning faces to appropriate folders in the graphical window
- Automatic parting surface generation
- 2.5 D one direction
- 2.5D two direction
- offset-radiate with tangency control
- advanced sweep
- Parting surface editing – combining different surface types
- Shutoffs control – elimination of sharp edges around the parting line
- Automatic opening closing - with maintained surface curvature of the boundaries
- Simultaneous closing of multiple openings
- Automatic core and cavity, insert, slider and moving elements generation
- Automatic assembly of all mold components into one SW document
- Full associativity of all parts – part/core/cavity/inserts
- Automatic adoption for standard mold base - automatically adapted to work with standard mold base packages
- Test injection - simulation of injection process to check the correctness of the mold design. Differences between the original part and the test-injected part are automatically identified
- Enhanced associative capabilities – tracking all feature changes introduced to the model and automatic update of the part’s core/cavity assemblies
- FaceWorks add-in extends SolidWorks capability to reduce engineering time and simplify the mould design process.
