If no standard mould fits these needs, the standard mould that es nearest to the requirements is chosen and changed accordinglyby adjusting the constraints and parameters so that any number of plates with any size can be used in the mould. Detailing the functional ponents and adding the standard ponents plete the mould().This all happens in 3D. Moreover, the mould system provides functions for the checking, modifying and detailing of the part .Already in this early stage, drawings and bill of materials can be created automatically. Through the use of 3D and the intelligence of the mould design system, typical 2D mistakessuch as a collision between cooling and ponents/cavities or the wrong position of a holecan be eliminated at the beginning. At any stage a bill of materials and drawings can be createdallowing the material to be ordered on time and always having an actual document to discuss with the customer or a bid for a mould base manufacturer. The use of a special 3D mould design system can shorten development cycles, improve mould quality, enhance teamwork and free the designer from tedious routine work. The economical success, however, is highly dependent upon the anization of the workflow. The development cycles can be shortened only when anizational and personnel measures are taken. The part design, mould design, electric design and mould manufacturing departments have no consistently work together in a tight relationship. ComputerAided Manufacturing(CAM)of Mould One way to reduce the cost of manufacturing and reduce leadtime is by setting up a manufacturing system that uses equipment and personnel to their fullest potential. The foundation for this type of manufacturing system is the use of CAD data to help in making key process decisions that ultimately improve machining precision and reduce nonproductive time. This is called as puter aided manufacturing (CAM).The objective of CAM is to produce, if possible, sections of a mould without intermediate steps by initiating machining operations from the puter workstation. With a good CAM system , automation does not just occur within individual features. Automation of machining processes also occurs bet
