Design System for Die-casting Molds Based on UG NX
Taking crankshaft box of ADC12 die-casting aluminum lawn mower as instance, CAD rapid prototyping system based on UG NX die-casting mold was introduced, and the general process of aluminum alloy die-casting mold design was expounded. The parting surface of crankshaft box was designed through 3D modeling, and cavity layout as well as gating system scheme were determined combined with material characteristics. Meanwhile,the standardized design and selection of core, cavity and framework were completed by UG NX to design ejection and side core-pulling mechanism. The system significantly shortens the development cycle through modular modeling, providing technical reference for rapid development of die casting molds.
