Abstract :
An integrated CAD/CAE/CAM system, HSC-1.1, is described. At the CAD/CAE stage the drawings of injection moulded parts can be transformed into the drawings of the mould parts interactively and, according to the user´s needs, the mechanical check, runner balance analysis, flow simulation and cooling simulation can be carried out. NC tapes for wire cutting or milling machine tools can be generated at the CAM stage. Practice shows that the system is a useful tool for mould designers and manufacturers
