Abstract
Systems and methods of creating a mold design for casting a metal product are described herein. The method can include receiving, by a processor, product design information for one or more metal products, preprocessing, by the processor, the product design information to create a pre-processed file, creating, by the processor, one or more mold designs using the preprocessed file, analyzing, by the processor, the one or more mold designs to detect the presence or absence of defects, nesting, by the processor, the one or more mold designs in a work area, and generating, by the processor, printing instructions for the one or more mold designs.
Claims20
A method of creating a mold design for casting a product, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, product design information for one or more metal products;
- preprocessing, by the processor, the product design information to create a pre-processed file;
- creating, by the processor, one or more mold designs using the preprocessed file;
- analyzing, by the processor, the one or more mold designs to detect the presence or absence of defects;
- nesting, by the processor, the one or more mold designs in a work area;
- and
- generating, by the processor, printing instructions for the one or more mold designs.
A system for creating a mold design for casting a product, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium in operable communication with the processor, wherein the computer-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive product design information for one or more metal products;
- preprocess the product design information to create a pre-processed file;
- create one or more mold designs using the preprocessed file;
- analyze the one or more mold designs to detect the presence or absence of defects;
- nest the one or more mold designs in a work area;
- and
- generate printing instructions for the one or more mold designs.
