Features: This book introduces the structure and design points of plastic molds, as well as the plastic mold design process based on Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. It also provides a detailed explanation of the basic operation methods of the NC module in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire software, building on the fundamental knowledge of CNC machining for mold parts. While focusing on the CNC machining operations of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, the book extensively incorporates professional knowledge related to plastic mold design, machining, usage, and materials. This enables readers to more reasonably select CNC machining parameters, making the generated machining programs more practical. The book is richly illustrated and guides readers to proficiently master the methods and techniques of CNC machining for plastic mold parts using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. All examples are typical plastic mold parts and are accompanied by CD files for convenience and practicality. This book can serve as an introductory and advanced guide for mold design and manufacturing personnel learning to use Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire for plastic mold design and CNC machining. It can also be used as a textbook or teaching reference for CAD/CAM courses in colleges and universities for majors such as Materials Forming and Control Engineering, Mold Design and Manufacturing, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Automation.
