Creo Mold Design

Description

Introduction to Mold Base Design & Injection mold development. making changes in parts to see updates in the mold, while utilizing the latest release of Creo. We help you learn to effectively design using Creo, not read to you from a book, but to understand mold design concepts. 

In this course you will be learning the layout and design of Plastic Injection Mold Base. Any changes made to the design model automatically propagate to the mold components and assemblies. We help design engineers learn how to make changes quickly to set them up for becoming experts faster. Participants will learn how to create final extract components that reflect the geometry of the design model, along with shrinkage considerations. As with all Design-Engine classes, participants keep the training material login and password for life.

This Creo Mold Base training course is intended for serious design engineers, tooling engineers, anyone tasked to purchase plastic injection parts, and anyone who wants to become proficient at developing plastic injection mold bases in just one week: OEM Manufacturers, Managers and Molders, Tooling Buyers and Engineers, Product Designers, Toolmakers, Mold Makers, and Junior Mold Designers.
