Expert Mold Designer -S Automates Mold Design with KeyCreator Direct CAD software
Expert Mold Designer –S (XMD-S) promises mold makers dramatically shorter lead times, higher quality designs, and higher productivity.
XMD-S extends the intelligent automation included in the original XMD product to fully integrate with KeyCreator dynamic modeling tools. The package enables designers to fully model the mold base and all required mechanisms and components in 3D solids. Custom solid mechanisms and plates can be brought into XMD-S enabling:
- automatic hole management
- automatic ballooning in the BOM
- ease of exporting each item for manufacturing
- simultaneous updating of drawing views and sections
- automatic detail drawing
XMD-S further expands on what was always XMD's strength: automating tedious CAD work in mold design. XMD-S now provides:
- smart components,
- automatic job management,
- automatic hole design,
- smart design editing tools,
- high quality automated drafting,
- smarter water commands,
- automatic interference checking,
- and much more.
KeyCreator’s Direct Modeling enables importing geometry from any source and working with it as though it were native geometry. Solids for slides, inserts, and even manifold systems can all be brought into XMD-S from any CAD system, and used in the mold design as a native component. Whether it comes from the customer, a surfacing department, or a subcontractor, it's easy to import the data and work with it.
Cornerstone Intelligent Software Corp, the developer of XMD-S is working closely with several companies in the mold making industry to improve the software. By applying Lean software construction practices, Cornerstone completes feature enhancement and software fixes to customers in record time. And they have much more technology that they are developing for future releases. Cornerstone’s goal is simple - to make XMD-S users the best group of mold designers on the planet.
One XMD-S customer, Greg Tiessen of Synergetic Engineering, said "We appreciate all the new development, the software is really taking off and becoming more customizable, and nice to work with. We are really enjoying using it!"
