Overview
Pro/MOLDESIGN provides the tools to create a mold model from start to finish by using the
mold design process within Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. In this course, you will learn how to
create, modify, and analyze mold components and assemblies. Any changes made to the
design model automatically propagate to the mold components and assemblies. You will
learn how to create final extract components that reflect the geometry of the design model,
long with shrinkage considerations, adequate drafting, mold features, and cooling systems.
Pro/FICIENCY assessments are provided for you to assess your understanding of the course
materials. The assessment results also identify the class topics that require further review.
At the end of the class, you will either take an assessment via your PTC University account,
or your instructor will provide training on how to do this after the class. After completing the
course, you will have a better understanding of the mold design process and how to create
molded products by using the mold design process.
