User's Guide
MOLDPLUS is a supplementary program that radically increases Mastercam抯 design and manufacturing functionality. MOLDPLUS significantly improves your productivity in the design, drafting and manufacturing of complex molds or tools. MOLDPLUS consists of the following modules:
ELECTRODE MAKER
Electrode-Maker radically reduces the time to create the increasing number of EDM electrodes required in the fabrication of complex molds. Electrode Maker automates the costly, tedious and boring task of creating, inserting and managing EDM electrodes.
SOLID-SEP
SOLID-SEP will automatically separate the core and cavity sides of a multi-surface part that was originally created in a solids based modeler. What previously took 6 to 7 hours of tedious and exasperating selection can now be done in minutes!
DRAFT-ANGLE
Draft Angle Analysis will automatically identify and split surfaces with a defined max/min draft angle relative to the defined construction plane. What previously required long and tedious analysis of each individual surface can now be done immediately!
PARTSURF
Create complex mold or tool parting (run-off) surfaces with astounding speed and ease. PARTSURF can create complete parting surfaces with one click of the mouse or chain of a parts edge.
VIEWS
Instantaneously creates 2D orthographic layouts in ANSI, ISO or user defined views of a 3D multi-surface or wireframe part for drafting and dimensioning. The apparent edges of surfaces can also be generated for better comprehension. We have also added the decomposition of splines into arcs for possible machining of the projections.
EDGES-ARCS
Automatically create the outside edges of a multi-surface part. The edges can also be projected onto a 2D plane for use as a boundary in machining. You can also create the edges of all 2D or 2.5D surfaces on models that originate from a solids modeler for faster machining. Edges also allow you to create edges of the surfaces that define a multi-surface part without duplicating coincident edges. We have also added the decomposition of splines into arcs for possible machining of the projections.
DRILL CENTERS
Automatically create the drill center point and arc that define drill holes on models that originate from a solids modeler. These models usually lack this information and require hours to construct the inside and outside edges of a multi-surface part. The created edges can also be projected onto a 2D plane for use as a boundary in machining. You can also create the edges of all the surfaces that define a multi-surface part without duplicating coincident edges. We have also added the decomposition of splines into arcs for possible machining of the projections.
PARTLINES
Create parting line curves on a complex multiple surface part with blinding speed. Can also be used to identify steep or shallow machining zones with blinding speed, independent of machining angle.
X-SECTIONS
Create cross hatching, cross section(s) splines on single or multiple surfaces relative to a defined plane with blinding speed. A multiple function permits any number of repetitive sections at a defined spacing. This function can be used in proving designs, 2D drafting or machining.
MOLDLOCKS
Automatically creates the complex multi-surface forms used to create corner and side moldlocks. Moldlocks aid in the closing alignment of high precision, medium and large molds. This function can also be used to automatically create pan forms with draft angled walls.
CUT AND SLICE
Automatically trims multiple surfaces relative to a defined plane, zig-zag line or contour. Perfect for creating knock-outs, or inserts of a complex mold or tool assembly.
STOCK/ELEC
Automatically create raw stock limits or a simple square electrode around selected surfaces or relative to a user defined point. The XYZ offsets are definable by the user. After creation of the box all surfaces can be trimmed and eliminated.
MOLDPLUS LEVELS
Moldplus has 3 different levels of functionality. Each is designed for the type of work required by the designer or moldmaker. A list describing the exact level of functionality is located at the end of this HLP file.
For information concerning MOLDPLUS please contact your local MASTERCAM dealer.

Installation
MOLDPLUS is delivered via the Internet as a download or on a CD-ROM from your local Mastercam dealer. Access codes are required for the program to function. The Install program will install MOLDPLUS into your Mastercam C-hooks directory. The MOLDPLUS.DLL, MOLDPLUS.TXT file must be in the Mastercam C-hooks directory. The MOLPLUS.HLP must always be in the Mastercam help sub-directory (\MCAM8\HELP) or it will not function automatically.
Start Mastercam then do an ALT-C to start the Mastercam C-Hooks. Select and execute Moldplus.dll. (You can make this your default c-hook by going to Screen, Configure, Start/Exit page and setting the Default C-hook to Moldplus). After Moldplus has started the following menu will be presented:
If this menu appears it means that you do not have the access codes installed in the Mastercam main directory. Moldplus or Suprtrim will only function in the demo mode if you select NO. If you wish to register Moldplus or Suprtrim by entering the access codes select YES. If you select YES the following menu will be presented:
Enter the Moldplus Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Suprtrim access code(s). Just type the code in the Access Code area, then select Update. The Moldplus codes must be entered in chronological order (1,2 then 3). If the code is correct the Level 1 status will register Active. If you have also purchased Moldplus Level 2 enter the Level 2 code and select Update. If you have also purchased Moldplus Level 3 enter the Level 3 code and select Update. If the code is correct the Level 1, 2 or 3 status will register Active. This automatically enters the codes into an ASCII file named MOLDPLUS.ACC that is located in the Mastercam main directory.
If you have purchased only the Suprtrim code please enter the code in the Access code area. If the code is entered correctly the status for Suprtrim will register active. This automatically enters the codes into an ASCII file named MOLDPLUS.ACC that is located in the Mastercam main directory. Suprtrim will register as active if you purchased all the Moldplus levels (Level 3).
The function Draft Angle Analysis, SolidSEP, X-Section Cross-hatching, Cut_and_Slice Zone Split and Stock_Electrodes with complex contours require a Level 2 access code. New Electrode and Close Trims requires Moldplus Level 3. A detailed listing of the level functionality is at the end of the HLP file.
Suprtrim requires a specific Suprtrim code or Moldplus Level 3 code to function fully. If you have Moldplus Level 1 only Plane Trim will function. If you have Moldplus Level 2 Plane Trim, Zone Split, Zone Delete and Split Loop will function.. If you have Moldplus Level 3 or the specific Suprtrim code everything in the menu will function.
DEMO VERSION
If you do not have the Moldplus:access code, the code is incorrect or if the system can not find the MOLDPLUS.ACC file, the following message will appear when you execute Moldplus::
Select NO and Moldplus will function in the demo mode.
ATTENTION
When MOLDPLUS functions in the demo mode the original geometry might be modified, especially the splines. For this reason it is not recommended to save the part after using the demonstration mode.
In the demo mode you may test the functions but the results are only drawn to the screen and are not written to the database. Additionally, there are a few functions that will not function at all in the demo mode. |
