How should numerical control be combined with mold design?
As for the combination? Now many molds need to be processed by numerical control machine tools, but numerical control is not limited to the mold, for example, the metal or other material parts can be machined directly.
I think people should first learn the basic knowledge of numerical control and die,If you want to combine, the most important thing is to learn the processing technology, but at least know how a part should have what kind of process.The most convenient thing is to learn some mainstream modeling software, such as UG, PROE and so on.Take UG as an example, the software itself has modeling modules and process modulesThe correct modeling can be introduced into NC machining center, and the parts can be machined automatically by UG programming.This in itself is a way of combining modeling with numerical control
Fundamentals: engineering drawings, processed materials, cutting tools, mechanical design fundamentals, engineering mechanics, cold die foundations, plastic mold foundations, CNC machining and processes, etc..
Now there are many schools opened a mold CAD/CAM professional, that is specifically for your needs, I also learn this profession, but later diverted to do CNC machining.Software, a lot of choice, there are UG/PROE/CATIA/MASTERCAM/AUTOCAD/SOLID, EDGE, and so on, only one, you can recommend UG and CATIA
