Top 5 Ways SpaceClaim Can Help CAE Work in Injection Molding

  1. Direct Geometry Selection and Editing

    SpaceClaim allows you to directly select geometry and make modifications with ease. You can:

    • Add rounds
    • Add ribs
    • Add cutaways

    Everything becomes straightforward when you can directly interact with the geometry.

  2. Quick Selection and Editing

    With SpaceClaim, you can swiftly select and remove or edit any part of your model. The simplified user interface allows you to:

    • Select holes to remove from the mold
    • Select and remove complex features with just one click
  3. 3D and 2D Cross-Section Editing

    SpaceClaim offers the same editing capabilities in both 3D and 2D cross-sections. You can:

    • View and dramatically edit geometry
    • Control part thickness and feature location
    • Edit imported models or create from scratch

    No longer will you be stuck with a static IGES or STEP file. Select and edit any part of the model.

  4. Draft Analysis and Editing

    When preparing geometry for molds, it's crucial to ensure the necessary draft is present. SpaceClaim allows you to:

    • Analyze parts to check draft quality (red is bad, green is good)
    • Make edits if a problem is detected

    Fix issues immediately in 3D or 2D cross-sections without waiting for regeneration failures.

  5. Concept Modeling and Manufacturing Preparation

    SpaceClaim provides a simple method to transition from concept modeling to manufacturing readiness. You can:

    • Bring in your mold assembly
    • Quickly create the necessary cores and cavities
    • Add injection pins or other necessary components

    Conveniently explode your model to view all design elements. SpaceClaim's intuitive user interface and easy learning curve facilitate the transition from concept to mold design.

Let's look at the top 5 ways SpaceClaim can help with CAE work in injection molding. Number 5. SpaceClaim allows you to directly select geometry and edit it. Add rounds, add ribs, add cutaways. Everything is easy when you can directly select and edit the geometry.

Number 4. SpaceClaim allows you to quickly select and remove or edit anything on your model. Select holes to remove from the mold or select complex features, removing things is just one click away with our simplified user interface.

Number 3. Everything you love about editing the model in 3D works exactly the same way in a familiar 2D cross section. Not only view the geometry, but also make dramatic edits. Control part thickness, location of features, and more.

You can also edit the geometry and make modifications on imported models or models you can use. Create from scratch. No longer will you be stuck with a dumb CAD file. Select on anything in the model and edit it.

Number 2. When preparing geometry for molds, it's crucial that you be able to put in the necessary draft that's needed. SpaceClaim lets you analyze parts that come in to check to see if the draft is good or not. Red is bad, green is good. But not only check the draft, but make those edits.

If you see a problem with SpaceClaim, you can fix it. Let's take a look at number 1. SpaceClaim gives you a simple method to run a draft from the original model into the new model. In the previous video, we covered the basic steps to create a draft for a mold.

SpaceClaim lets you analyze parts that come in to check and create that. Fix it immediately. Fix it in 3D or fix it in a 2D cross section. And no longer wait for regeneration failures. As soon as you see the problem, make the change. And it happens right before your eyes.

Number one, SpaceClaim lets you do not only concept modeling, but also get the part ready for manufacturing. Bring in your mold assembly and take your part and quickly create the cores and cavities that are needed in your model. Don't stop there.

Go ahead and add in any injection pins or anything else that's needed. And you can conveniently explode your model and see everything that's inside the design. SpaceClaim's easy learning curve and intuitive user interface make it easy to go from concepting to mold design.
