3-D Design System for Slides of Injection Molds to Demold Parts with Undercuts.

사출금형의 언더컷 처리 기구 3차원 설계

As 3-D solid modeling systems have been widely used in product design recently, dedicated design systems for molds of the products have been developed and introduced to mold manufacturers. These mold design systems provide solid modeling capabilites for mechanism to free undercuts. This paper describes an algorithm for slide design capability that has been developed based on a commercial CAD system, Unigraphics. Since the relationship between slide parts were investigated and predefined using parameters in the system, the dimensions and locations of the parts are modifed automatically when a part is modified.
