How to use CAD, CAM and CAE design software to improve the design accuracy of die casting molds?

In the design and manufacturing process of modern Die Casting Mold, the application of CAD, CAM and CAE design software has become a key technology to improve design accuracy and production efficiency. Ningbo Jieda Molding & Machine Co., Ltd, as a high-tech enterprise specializing in the design and manufacturing of aluminum alloy die casting molds, makes full use of these advanced software tools, combined with the company's rich production experience, to significantly improve the design accuracy and manufacturing quality of the mold. Ningbo Jieda Molding & Machine Co., Ltd adopts an advanced CAD design system, so that the mold design can be verified in various forms in advance in a virtual environment.

Specifically, CAD software can help designers to carry out refined design in the following aspects:
Mold structure optimization: Through CAD software, designers can accurately simulate each component of the mold, analyze their interactions, and optimize the structure according to product requirements.
Precise modeling of product geometry: Through CAD software, designers can create complex geometric shapes and accurately model the details of the mold to ensure that every detail of the mold meets the design requirements.

Application of CAM Software in Die Casting Mold Processing
The main function of CAM software is to convert CAD design models into processing programs, thereby guiding CNC machine tools for precise processing. Ningbo Jieda Molding & Machine Co., Ltd has a number of high-precision CNC processing equipment, such as precision CNC machining centers and wire cutting machines, which can achieve high-precision mold processing with the support of CAM software.

In the mold processing process, the application of CAM software can effectively improve processing accuracy and production efficiency. By optimizing the processing path, designers can avoid errors and unnecessary waste in the processing process. Specifically:
Processing path optimization: CAM software can generate the processing path according to the complex shape and processing requirements of the mold, thereby reducing the wear of the cutting tool and improving the processing accuracy.
Automated programming: After using CAM software, the programming process becomes more automated and simple. The software can automatically generate processing programs based on CAD design and perform simulation verification to ensure that every step in the processing process can be accurately executed.
Efficient use of materials: Through the precise calculation and optimization of CAM software, it can effectively reduce the waste of raw materials and reduce production costs.

CAE software plays a vital role in mold design. Through CAE software, designers can fully simulate the die-casting process before mold manufacturing, predict possible casting defects and problems, and then adjust the design to avoid these defects.
Flow analysis: In the aluminum alloy die-casting process, the fluidity of liquid metal has a vital impact on the quality of castings. CAE software can simulate the flow process of liquid metal in the mold and predict defects such as pores and cold shuts that may occur during the filling process. This enables Ningbo Jieda's designers to discover and correct problems in mold design in advance to ensure the quality of castings.
Thermal analysis: During the die-casting process, the temperature distribution directly affects the service life of the mold and the quality of the casting. CAE software can simulate the heat conduction process of the mold at different temperatures, predict the cooling rate and mold thermal stress, help designers optimize the cooling system design, and ensure that the mold has good thermal stability and uniform cooling effect.
Stress analysis: CAE software can also analyze the stress of the mold to ensure that the mold will not be deformed or damaged due to excessive stress during the die-casting process, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the mold.
