What is UG? What are the applications in mold design? Let me explain it to you!
What is 1.UG?
UG(Unigraphics NX) is a product engineering solution produced by Siemens PLM Software Company, which provides digital modeling and verification means for users' product design and processing. Unigraphics NX provides a mature solution for users' virtual product design and process design needs. UG is also the abbreviation of user guide and Universal Grammar.
This is an interactive CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) system with powerful functions, which can easily realize the construction of various complex entities and shapes. At the beginning of its birth, it was mainly based on workstations. However, with the development of PC hardware and the rapid growth of individual users, its application on PC has grown rapidly and has become the mainstream application of 3D design in mold industry.
2. What are the applications of 2.UG in mold design?
UG also provides you with the cutting-edge technology of high-speed machining at present.
(HSM). High-speed milling has the advantages of fast feed, fast rotating speed, less cutting amount, small deformation and no cooling. It simplifies the machining process, reduces the machining time and improves the machining quality and Nurbs.
Interpolation can greatly shorten the process and process high-quality thin-walled parts. UG provides 3-axis NURBS interpolation and 5-axis NURBS under high-speed milling.
Interpolation, tool axis smoothing control, tool path smoothing and other functions, to maintain the maximum stable cutting speed, to avoid discontinuous and sudden acceleration changes, to maintain a constant spindle speed, equal volume cutting, on the premise of ensuring interpolation tolerance, to minimize the number of program segments and provide highly continuous and smooth tool path data.
Multi-position progressive die design wizard
The design and processing of progressive dies started from the pillar industries in the fields of computers, automobiles, electronics and electrical appliances. The design of progressive die is a relatively complex and highly iterative process. The traditional design method needs to repeat the whole design process by hand, which requires a lot of time and money, as well as a lot of design knowledge and experience. The progressive die orientation provided by UG greatly improves the productivity through the intelligent automation of specific industrial processes.
UG provides a complete progressive die design environment, encapsulates the expert knowledge of die design, and has enough flexibility to integrate the professional knowledge of customers and meet the different needs of users. Through this module, users can automatically extract sheet metal features and map them to process features, and automatically meet company standards to capture a series of designs. Efficient, simple and easy-to-use layout design tools can enable designers to effectively arrange the technological characteristics of each station and minimize waste. The customization of mould base library, standard parts library and insert library speeds up the design of mould structure and ensures the whole process of users to be carried out efficiently.
UG's progressive die orientation greatly shortens the design cycle of the whole progressive die; Make full use of human resources to minimize costs; Minimize human error, thus improving the quality of mold design; Easy to adapt to design changes; Greatly shorten the delivery cycle of your products, improve product quality and more innovative design and extended application; Let your products stand out in the increasingly competitive market environment and give you an unprecedented competitive advantage!
A complete design guide for stamping dies.
UG stamping die engineering wizard can assist product designers and manufacturing engineers through process automation. The stamping die wizard provides a series of tools for making stamping process rules, die layout and die analysis. The stamping die wizard provides the function of assisting in defining the process, and guides engineers to formulate the processing technology for processing special sheet metal parts. UG 18 adds a mold structure design module, which is integrated with mold engineering and can provide seamless data flow from one process to the next. You can also create a tool model for machining parts.
