The Along with the demanding diverse and characteristic and many new material, the new craft of society of extensive applied, request to be increasingly complicated also to the structure form and the modern molding tool. If adopt the traditional molding tool manufacturing method, not only the cost is high, the rate of production is low, and the quantity of the very difficult assurance molding tool request.
The traditional molding tool design makes the technique, the root can't satisfy the request of market to molding tool. Therefore, research to manufacture and develop the new molding tool design and make the technique power at go necessarily. The molding tool CAD/ CAM and the RT( Rapid Tooling) techniques is developed out under this kind of situation exactly of, and developed the important function in the production of the modern molding tool.
1．Molding tool CAD/ CAM
The molding tool CAD/ CAM is a foundation that develop respectively in the molding tool CAD and the molding tool CAMs up develop of, it is the calculator technique to synthesize in molding tool produce an applied leap lately.
Adopt the lone CAD and CAM technique designs produces the molding tool, in regard to its whole production line, design the production line to without essence to change with the traditional molding tool, still dichotomous link- design and make, and two s have the obvious boundary, the diagram paper is they deliver the most important means of information.
The molding tool CAD/ CAM then contact closely the CAD and CAMs, carrying out the design manufacturing integral whole to turn, in fact the quality is a comprehensive calculator of design and manufacturing to turn. In the system of CAD/ CAM, several models of the product are the concerning the most basic core data in products, and be the whole design and compute, analyze the process in the most original data. Its result can the usage database and the network techniques is saving it and deliver the production to make each parties concerned of the link directly, thus carrying out the integral whole of design the manufacturing to turn. At this time, the diagram paper is not the boundary of design and the manufacturing link any more, is also not unique basis that makes the process any more, after system in what to deliver is the whole design, compute and analyze a great deal of information that acquisition get. The molding tool CAD/ CAM technique so can get the development and extensive applications very soon, mainly is it has as follows some characteristics:
（1）The knowledge, technique is intensive, the comprehensive is strong. The molding tool CAD/ CAM technique is to be made the technique and calculators by various forerunners technical of comprehensive, its knowledge, technique is highly intensive, involving the course realm to have another, the knowledge face widely, the technique is stronger, this will beg the employee to not only need to have the higher professional technique and technical abilities, but also to have many comprehensive knowledge and techniques of the course.
（2）The rate of production is high, the economic performance shows .The molding tool CAD/ CAM technique can raise the rate of production and economic performances biggest, occupying to close the data covariance analysis, using the traditional method manufacturing molding tool from designing to make into the product to deliver goods, needing a few months about. But the adoption molding tool CAD/ CAM technique then can shorten for more than ten days even several days, this won time in vehemence of market compete for the business enterprise, to create good economic performance.
（3）Be advantageous to the exaltation molding tool standardizes the degree, developing the person's creation biggest. Standardize the work can availably promote technical development of the molding tool CAD/ CAM, but the molding tool CAD/ CAM then requests the molding tool design process to standardize, the standardize of the molding tool structure, the molding tool manufacturing process standardizes to standardize with craft conditionally.
（4）Renew the speed quickly, the beginning starts the investment greatly. The technical renewal speed of the molding tool CAD/ CAM is quick, can adapt the variety of the market situation, bring the very high performance for the business enterprise, but its beginning start the investment is huge, this is also applied important factor of the check and supervision molding tool CAD/ CAM expansion.
（5）The adaptability is wide, this is the molding tool CAD/ CAM technical again one characteristics. It not only cans be adapt in the large business enterprise, ands but also is applicable to the medium and small scaled business enterprise.
The molding tool CAD/ CAM technique is still technique in continuously develop, the tallest stage that it develop is a calculator to gather the manufacturing system( CIMS), its target is the molding tool manufacturing to automate completely, this research development and the funds of a huge sum of that will beg to compare the long time throw in. The people believe that along with the CAD/ CAM technical develop continuously and perfect, will develop the huge function in the machine manufacturing industry necessarily, bring economic performance that can't estimate for the society.
2．The fast molding tool makes the RT
The fast molding tool manufacturing is a fast prototype RP to make successful application in the profession in the molding tool.
Pass the contrast can see clearly, the molding tool RT compared the craft process of the CAD/ CAM to reduce many links, as a result can shorten the design manufacturing period of the molding tool consumedly, raising to labor the rate of production. Cast the nicety, the in the center soft mold transition method and the electricity sparks process, the metals sprays to draw, grind etc. the advanced molding tool manufacturing technique and the RP knots put together, can make a various simple molding tool and the steel( iron) molding tool quickly. The Process the method to compare with the CNC, the RT can make the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing periods of the molding tool reduce 1/3-1/10, the whole expenses lowers to 1/3-1/5, the economic performance shows the very. Particularly to special complicated medium small scaled molding tool of shape, its superiority is more outstanding.
Currently, the fast molding tool RT mainly is apply in to note the mold and hurtle to press the aspects, such as mold and mold for casting...etc., it makes the craft method to mainly have the indirectly of RP system mold and makes the mold directly on the system of RP two kinds of, there are three kinds of craft routes of typical model. One is the product manufacturing of a small batch quantity, it makes use of the RP the fast prototype technique and vacuums note the technique , making the resin molding tool directly; Two is the manufacturing of the spare parts of medium etc. batch quantity, its craft project is to make use of the fast prototype of RP, adopting to spray to draw the technique manufacturing metals quickly cold spray the mold( spray to draw in the molding tool surface a thin hull of the layer metals, body still is plastics), this kind of molding tool can used for 3000 note the production of the piece as follows; Three is the large quantity to produce the type, the craft route makes use of the RP manufacturing graphite electrode first, then pass to give or get an electric shock the spark to process the steel mold, it is applicable to more than ten thousand large quantities quantity production.
Synthesize the fast molding tool manufacturing RT technique, it makes the technique and the molding tool CAD/ CAMs with traditional molding tool to compare, still having as follows characteristics:
