This powerful option within the AUTO-Series uses catalogue standard elements, 'user defined' components or mini-assemblies to quickly allow the designer to try different solutions, examine conflicts and optimise the tool design.

Mould details, sectional views (variable) and automatic plate detailing can all be created from the 3D model. AUTO-Analysis can be used to analyse the component and generate the core & cavity detail. Assembly Manager can be used to automatically generate the parts list and AUTO-Electrode can be used to pull out the required electrodes.

Through its exceptionally graphic interface, AUTO-Mould dramatically saves time in producing drawings and a verified design, tailored precisely to the component being moulded.

To complete the design process AUTO-MFR (machining feature recognition) can be used to automatically generate the drilling and milling/pocketing cycles for each plate.
