I would like to know if any of you uses inventor to design injection molds
I am a former designer molds and I would like to understand today on which software to orientate me and previously I used top solid-mold of the missler and one of my acquaintances cited me precisely autodesk inventor product suite the fact is that I do not know it and I would like to understand more and have suggestions on it for quality effective price. Can anyone help me?? Thank you.
 
But there is no one who can give me an answer or at least address me where I might have answers?
 
If the molds you plan are simple and do not require spindle moldings go, otherwise it is better to let inventor lose. for serious molds it takes delcam or similar programs.
 
I agree with the mauri. for thermoplastic molds it is better to jump on dedicated software. according to me inventor lends himself well only for objects of easy geometry

good morning mauri I also think that it would be better to go on compromised programs the problem is the costs and I asked about inventor that of last generations 2014 2015 xkè who told me well but I would like to know something more and of documents I found really few? ? ?
 
I press that I don't work with molds, but I've had the opportunity to question a few holes to evaluate to make some components with injection molds.

As far as I was able to understand, for the design of inventor moulds it has a little too many "limitations", in the last versions it lashes also on the surfaces but often we find ourselves having to struggle with the program and having to adapt the piece according to the limitations on the workings of the surfaces, it is easy to find ourselves to have to build geometries that require a huge loss of time (and blasphemies) to be realized.

to try to understand the limitations on the surfaces you could spend some evening on youtube looking for films focused on surfaces, something like canoe or rims present here https://www.youtube.com/channel/ucwkmgaocga0kjz6ynxhfhya
 
Yes, I understand it's a cost problem. inventor, however, is a cad3d for mechanical design with limited possibilities of thrust modeling (I refer to surface modeling) and therefore you cannot ask him what he cannot do.
as you can also not ask delcam (which is a good surface modeler) to make mechanical design, you would become mad. I don't want to be wrong, but it seems to me that Delcam was purchased by autodesk.
 
Thanks ninfh just today I had the opportunity to talk to a software dealer among other expert in designing molds that would have all the reasons to propinarmi the program that sells between solid work and caia but he proposed top solid-mold or toptron and in last solid edge just for the motivations you listed but the trouble unfortunately remain the costs.
 
I have visited the site of you tube certain that seen so it seems remarkable and even simple but I have noticed that for some passages there are some notices that you acquire them after various attempts and mussels and fittings are the hardest rock but I have to say well for inventor corrected me if I mistake and for the molds remains a challenge all to discover and the bad luck is that nn I know nobody who uses last generation inventor for this
 
with inventor 2012 I built a model similar to an electric screwdriver drill and was very laborious and frustrating also because it was my first modeling work "pinta". I'd have to make another one now, I'd be loose and quiet. the biggest problem I found in the creation of the fittings and especially in the subsequent emptying. It takes so much calm and so much evidence, however valium helped me a lot... .
 
I am convinced that inventor is not to be underestimated and that you have to know the tricks however the nail of the fittings have it all and you must always find the system to rays and anyway I have not yet found a moldist that uses inventor and we are in many
