PTC Creo+ Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) - Subscription


Overview


Many tool and mold-making professionals rely on 2D CAD to design the tooling structure. The PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) offers the ideal solution for this. Because the solution is process-based and easy to use, the tool and mold maker can work in a familiar 2D environment, harness the power and benefits of 3D, and significantly reduce lead time.

With PTC Creo EMX, users can create tool base layouts in a familiar 2D environment and automatically generate a 3D model to further leverage the benefits of 3D design. The process-driven 2D user interface guides you to the optimal design and is automatically updated as mold bases are developed.

You can also choose from a catalog of standard components (DME, DMS, EOC, FUTABA (Misumi), HASCO, KLA, MEUSBURGER, PEDROTTI, RABOURDIN, STRACK, PROGRESSIVE, NATIONAL, PCS, LKM, etc.) or bring in your customized components.

 


How can the PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) help your team?

  • Accelerate design with simple, process-oriented workflows for automated design and detailing
  • Libraries for 17 tooling/component suppliers (e.g. screws, ejector pins, slides, cooling fittings)
  • Automatic functions for ejector pins, cooling channels and fittings; automatic channel and cooling channel tests
  • Avoids costly rework and reduces cycle times by eliminating errors in a 3D environment
  • Reduce the need for design changes by automatically updating tooling models, drawings, and electrodes

 

Key benefits

  • Realize an immediate ROI based on significant productivity improvements
  • Capture company design standards and best practices directly within mold assemblies and components as you preserve in-house mold design expertise
  • Enable concurrent engineering between design and manufacturing
  • Eliminate data translation with a native, fully associative PTC Creo 3D CAD solution
  • Incorporate late changes in the design cycle easily as modifications update automatically
  • Reduce the costs of scrap and rework by simulating interferences and by using standard components
  • Shorten the learning curve using the intuitive tutorials and documentation


Features and specifications

  • Specialized 2D GUI enables instant customization of moldbases and components
  • Automatic assembly of components – ‘pick & place’ ease
  • All necessary clearance holes, threads, counterbores, etc, are automatically added to plates
  • Part-level features already fully dimensioned
  • Custom components can be created, saved, and reused
  • Automatic layers and simplified representations for easy viewing
  • Standard and nonstandard mold components are marked
  • Ability to take your customer parts through the complete process
  • Supplier catalogs include: DME, DMS, EOC, FUTABA (Misumi), HASCO, KLA, MEUSBURGER, PEDROTTI, RABOURDIN, STRACK, PROGRESSIVE, NATIONAL, PCS, LKM, and others
Smart moldbase assemblies and components
Automatic functions, such as on-the-fly customization, component sizing, placement, trimming, and clearance cut and thread creation, are provided for the following:
  • Complete Moldbase Assemblies (include double shot mold)
  • Plates and Insulation
  • Guide, Leader and Return Pin Assemblies
  • Multi-Cavity and Family Molds Supported
  • Support Pillar Assemblies
  • Latch Lock Assemblies
  • Locating Rings and Sprue Bushing
  • Ejector Pins, including Sleeve Ejection
  • Screws and Washers
  • Dowel Pins
  • Cooling Circuit with Fittings, Plugs and O-Rings
  • Slider and Lifter Assemblies
Automatic drawing, hole chart and BOM creation
As the assembly is created and optimized, PTC Creo EMX updates the Bill of Materials (BOM) and assembly drawing. Drawings of all assemblies and plates, complete with hole charts, are created automatically.
Drawings and BOM layouts are also customizable.

Mold opening and ejection simulation
Mold opening simulation complete with slider, lifter, and ejector simulation, is created automatically.
Interference can be checked automatically during the mold opening sequence.
      Capture company specific best practices and standards
      Company specific best practices and standards can be captured in the catalogs. Employees can modify existing catalog models or create new models based on company accepted standards.
