: Create the raw block of material (stock) from which the core and cavity will be split. You can use the Automatic Workpiece tool to generate a block based on the reference part's overall dimensions. Develop Parting Geometry :

: Any changes made to the original part model automatically propagate to the mold components, reducing redesign effort. : Create the raw block of material (stock)
: Account for the material's contraction as it cools. You can apply shrinkage by scaling the model relative to a coordinate system or dimension. This creates a "reference part" that stays linked
: The Mold Design Extension (MMX) provides catalogs for standard mold bases and hardware (ejector pins, slides, and lifters).
Designing a mold in (formerly Pro/ENGINEER) involves a systematic workflow that transitions a 3D part model into a multi-component manufacturing assembly. By using the dedicated Mold Design module, you can automate the creation of cores, cavities, and parting surfaces while maintaining full associativity with the original design.
