- [Instructor] this course is not an in-depth training
on the mold tools of Solidworks.
However, l will be using some of Solidworks' mold tools
to demonstrate the concepts discussed.
This is an overview course of mold design considerations
and methods of manufacturing.
It should help you get started on
your Investigation of manufacturing design
and give you a good starting point
for your learning journey.
FYI, there is not strictly a need for you to use
a CAD program to understand the subject matter
bot access to some of the free programs listed here
may aid in your understanding by simple way
of being able to manipulate the examples to see all sides.
In addition to the methods discussed that address
the design phase of the project, I'll also break down
the procedure of prototype mold-making and casting
in a step-by-step that should give you an appreciation
for the practice of mold-making.
