Hello and welcome to my Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire Mold and EMX demonstration. Were
going to cover lots of new functionality that are included in the Tool Design Option and Expert
Mold Base Extension
This is the model data I had received from my customer (throw in some names such as
SONY etc). As you can see, this camera model contains of high degree of complex surfaces
and also internal ribs at the other side of the model.
<spin around the model>
I can easily create 3D cross section in Pro/ENGINEER model and check if the model has
inconsistent thickness, undercut etc, besides, I can integrate this cross section information to
my part drawing.
Before I start my mold design, I would like to analyze this camera model if it is fully drafted.
This is very important information for a mold maker because draft angle will determine the
success of mold design. As you may see, this camera part is fully drafted which means I can
go on for my mold design right away.

Now, it is time to show you how Pro/ENGINEER helps you to create a slider volume for your
mold design, first, we need to name the new slider volume, lets call it slider etc
<Slider volume can be any name>
With the new slider functionality available in Pro/ENGINEER Wild Fire, undercut areas can
be easily detected and curves will be created automatically at the edges of the undercut
areas which will be used for Volume creation.
As you can see, I select the two quilts to include for my slider volume .
As you can see a Volume has been created from the curves. Now let me show another way
of creating slider Volume using conventional method.
<Pro/ENGINEER provides multiple options to the user, Advance or Conventional

Sometimes, we may have problems controlling the location of the parting surface.
Pro/ENGINEER can help us to overcome this problem very easily, as you can see, a
Silhouette has been created at the upper edge of this hole and I can just change the curve
to the lower edge of the hole which makes the parting surface lay at the bottom of the hole.
Now, I would like to create a parting surface from the Silhouette curve I have just created
minutes ago
Now, a full parting surface has been created right in front of our very eyes.
The parting surface fills up all the loops and as you can see, the parting surface created

Lets start a new EMX file, give a project name <emx_demo> and <ed> for the part prefix
name (it can be any name for Project name as well as the Part Prefix name), as you can
see, EMX creates all the necessary required datum planes and datum points in a skeleton
model automatically, which also means, all the mold components will be located at their right
location automatically.
EMX will automatically create a Style that will set all EMX plates to wireframe mode. The

moldbase library very easily).
Let me select Futaba SC-Type for my design (you can run thru some of the available
