Do you know, that… ?

There are a number of important factors in the production of injection molds. However, the opening direction must be specified first, which determines the next steps. The division of the die and punch and the necessity to use side forming depend on the opening direction.

If the detail has an obvious breakdown, there is no topic. But sometimes there are elements with a non-obvious division. Then the tool available in the Evaluate or Mold Tools tab can help – Neutral line analysis.

It works like this, that many references can be made (e.g. planes), which can define the directions of opening and we choose the optimal one. If you want to smoothly change the angle, should be enabled The triad of adaptation and turn the rings.

Thus, we choose the optimal division – in the model it will be displayed with a purple edge on the wall.
