A mold base is an assembly of steel plates that contain the cores and cavities of a mold. The Mold Base feature creates a mold base from provided content libraries. The User Mold Base feature inserts a user defined Inventor assembly file. To use a file imported from another CAD system, save it as an Inventor assembly file before use.
Tip: For best results, use the Mold Base Author feature to assign component attributes before inserting a user defined mold base.
You can place a standard mold base by selecting from a library of mold bases from vendors, such as DME, HASCO, Futaba, and LKM. You can customize any of the standard mold base types.
