Automated cad process for creating mold packages

A computer implemented method for converting a design model part of a die component to a manufacturing model part in a solid modeling application, comprising:

• obtaining a three-dimensional design model part;
• selecting a reference face disposed on the design model part;
• identifying parameters of the reference face;
• identifying a base face of the design model part using the parameters of the reference face;
• recognizing a geometric pattern of the design model part within the solid modeling application;
• removing apertures identified on the base face;
• and
• generating a manufacturing model part by adding material stock to the design model part.

A computer implemented method for converting a design model part to a manufacturing model part in a solid modeling application, comprising:

• obtaining a three-dimensional design model part and identifying a base face thereon;
• identifying a top face of a mounting plate;
• identifying a top face boundary as defined by intersections between the top face and adjacent faces;
• determining if an intersection requires a fillet;
• adding fillets to intersections;
• and
• generating a manufacturing model part.
