Die-casting die design

Die casting die design is an iterative manual process requiring

experience, domain knowledge, and problem-solving skills.

This is also very time-consuming work when using traditional

CAD tools (such as Pro-Engineer or Unigraphics) which are

good at performing detailed design tasks, but provide few

benefits for taking advantage of the previous design experience

and resources. Furthermore, the quality of the final die design

depends very much on the skills of the designer, as it requires

extensive knowledge of material, machines, and the operations

required to produce a die. However, applying the computer-

aided design (CAD) technology is widely seen as an alternative method.
