SplitWorks & MoldWorks Overview

SplitWorks is the ultimate tool to significantly reduce the time to split your plastic part into cores, cavities, side cores, pins and electrodes. Once achieved, users can easily integrate them into the mold base design using MoldWorks. SplitWorks incorporates both automatic algorithms to extract the split surfaces as well as interactive tools to facilitate the completion of the inserts and other related components.

MoldWorks is the premier 3D solid-based mold design application that delivers innovative design tools for the injection molding industry. The software significantly reduces the tedious and time-consuming work of creating mold base assemblies. Modifications that may be required during the mold design process or after completion are automatically propagated throughout the assembly.
