Parting Surface
• Tangent to surface—Sets the parting surface tangent to the surface adjacent to the parting line.
• Normal to surface—Sets the parting surface normal to the surface adjacent the parting line.• Reverse Alignment (Available for Normal to surface when two faces adjacent to
the parting edge are almost parallel.) Changes the face that is normal to the parting surface.
• Perpendicular to pull—Sets the parting surface perpendicular to the direction of pull.• Manual mode

Components needed for a successful tooling splitFrom Knowledge Base Solution Id: S-031697
• No geometrical errors. (Tools > Check)• Close shut off profiles.• Parting line/shut off faces command should show the message 'the mold is
separable into core and cavity’• There will be three surface body folders –Cavity, core and parting.
• The core and cavity surfaces should be able to knit with the parting surfaces. • Manually created parting surfaces need to be put in the parting surfaces
folder to make sure that they will knit with the existing parting surfaces. • Similarly, if the shut off faces are manually created, then they should be put
in core and cavity surfaces folder (a copy in each folder). • The tooling split sketch should be smaller than the parting face enclosure. • The tooling split block height should be more than the core and cavity side.

Mold Base DesignWe have our tooling split and mold cavities—what next?
• Download the mold base, if we don’t have one in our library already.
• Sources:• 3D Content Central • DME• Other mold base/tooling companies
• Preparing the downloaded mold base for use.

Using A Mold Base Assembly• This can be done many different ways—mine might not be the best
• Organize it into the A, B and Ejector subassemblies (if necessary, side pull assemblies)
• Using “Form New Subassembly Here” command
• Dragging and dropping parts from the main assembly to the subassembly
• Create display states to easily work with the inserts• I like to use as least four• A side display state, B side display state, Ejector plate, and B side and Ejector
plate

Placing inserts from the Tooling Split into the mold base assembly
• This is where we get really good and top down assembly modeling• Drag and drop inserts from the insert assembly to the A and B side
Sub assemblies.• Use assembly pattern for multiple inserts• Create in-context cuts in A and B Plate

Ejector Pin Placement—Hole Series
• Place one hole series per size
• Easiest to preselect face (Unlike the Hole Wizard)
• Notice the DME Standards as the hole type.
• Use the existing holes from the insert for the location of the hole

Advantages of using weldments for ejector pins• Easy to place with one in context part file
• Defaults to a multi-body part
• Can use a weldment cut list table to define the lengths of ejector pins for the person who is grinding the pins
