Features: This book provides an in-depth and systematic introduction to the methods and techniques of product modeling and mold design using the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 software. Through 7 specific cases, readers will master the application of the software by completing the modeling and mold design processes for different products. The content is easy to understand and explains complex issues through simple examples. The cases presented are all based on actual production scenarios, featuring innovative part structures and are highly representative, covering most methods and techniques of product modeling and mold design. Each case in the book includes both product modeling and mold design sections. The modeling part explains the concepts and processes of various features through the analysis of different modeling examples. For mold design, it not only covers basic methods such as parting surface design and gating system design but also advanced techniques like the design of complex core-pulling blocks, side-pulling mechanisms, and inclined slides, as well as methods for constructing parting surfaces using different surface features and filling broken cavities. The book also explains the EMX expert system and plastic advisor module, while also considering the practical situations of many enterprises, focusing on mold design methods using the assembly module. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the example files and some animated demonstrations to facilitate readers' understanding and mastery of the relevant knowledge. This book is suitable for professionals in industries such as machinery, electronics, automotive, home appliances, toys, aviation, and general engineering for new product development and mold design. It can also be used as a textbook for mold design, mechanical engineering, and electromechanical engineering programs in vocational colleges, technical colleges, and undergraduate universities.
