Mold feature doesn´t work the way i want

André Völkerath Nov 28, 2016 6:41 AM

Hey,

i want to create a mold out of this Drillstand, but i complete it. I tried different methods but it wont work.

I cant complete the Mold but iam pretty clueless atm. I Need it for my Engineering Projekt but since a week i cant make

any Progress. I got to form a Sand Mold after with Zcast.

Update: I uploaded the new Version, now i cant get the Core out ..

André,
I find 3 solids inside the file
Which is the actual part you are trying to make the mold for?

    André,
    There are couple of options to get this done
    If you use the mold tools from SW, then use the parting line to create the split. Use a planer surface to crate the parting surface (need to work with surface tools). Then use the split to create both halves
    If you use other conventional features like, intersect and combine, that also work to make your both halves

You could just extrude a block over that and cavity it from the 3 parts to get your mould. if you want it split through the middle just extrude the block halfway and mirror it after
