Overview

Many tool and mold-making professionals rely on 2D CAD to design the tooling structure. The PTC Creo Expert Moldbase Extension (EMX) offers the ideal solution for this. Because the solution is process-based and easy to use, the tool and mold maker can work in a familiar 2D environment, harness the power and benefits of 3D, and significantly reduce lead time. With PTC Creo EMX, users can create tool base layouts in a familiar 2D environment and automatically generate a 3D model to further leverage the benefits of 3D design. The process-driven 2D user interface guides you to the optimal design and is automatically updated as mold bases are developed.
You can also choose from a catalog of standard components (DME, DMS, EOC, FUTABA (Misumi), HASCO, KLA, MEUSBURGER, PEDROTTI, RABOURDIN, STRACK, PROGRESSIVE, NATIONAL, PCS, LKM, etc.) or bring in your customized components.
