The company I work for is considering purchasing Unigraphics with the Mold Wizard add in to do small to large injection mold design. Has anyone used this software for this specific purpose and how did it work? Were there any drawbacks or problem areas? Currently we are using Mechanical Desktop 6. Thank you.
I have used Unigraphics and the Mold Wizard quite extensively over the past years. I was even involved in helping to define requirements for the Mold Wizard product. Unigraphics and Mold Wizard are top notch tools for injection mold design big and small. Unigraphics is unprecidented in its' ability to manipulate imported models from your customers because it is a hybrid modeler (Surfaces, Solids, Wireframe, Parametrics, Explicit Modeling). Unigraphics is the only CAD system able to easily manipulate any data (iges, step, parasolid, acis) with its' direct modeling tools. Unigraphics is the industry leading CAD system in the injection molding industry and should be considered highly.

The function of a circuit breaker is to provide overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) protection to a circuit and its downstream components. A circuit breaker functions like an airbag in a car, protecting circuit components and people by tripping the circuit to interrupt the current flow if it detects a fault condition in the control system.

As with any new technology, getting into large-format 3D printing begins with investigation. The first question may be a simple one: what does “large-format” mean? For 3D printers, “large” is a relative term. Many extrusion-based (FFF) 3D printers are referred to as desktop machines, because they fit on table space. Some of these have very respectable build volumes – but when it comes to “large-format,” the machines will need their own dedicated floor space. Large-format 3D printers have significant build volumes and are most often found in professional settings, like manufacturing facilities and R&D centers. Download Now
