| |
• New analyse tools - new tools like high-level CAD software are included: dynamic draft angles, move by surfaces, dynamic rules, viewport deformation... |
| |
• Split cavity-core - important improvements in these tools: identify each surface and remember original position,
movements, groups... |
| |
• Parametrical Plates - like solid CAD software, in Rhinomold 3.0 it is now possible to create a plate and edit the parameters later only with two clicks. |
| |
• Non-plates components library - includes more than 45.000 components from the most important mold component
manufacturers like Hasco, DME, Futaba, and Misumi. |
| |
• RhinoMold Wizard - you can create molds very fast from mold component manufacturers like Hasco and DME. An update system has been developed to include new libraries from our website. Plates created in RhinoMold 3.0 are
editable like in software for solids. |

Analyse Module: |
|
• Compare Models - tool to geometrically compare two files or two selections. This tool is useful to find the differences between two versions of the same piece. |
|
• Open Compare - Separate the piece to facilitate analysis. |
| |
• Draft Angle - Analyze the draft angle of a model and define the minimum angle. This angle is relative to the engrave that is applied to the mold. |
| |
• Dynamic Draft Angle - This is a tool from the high-level CAD systems. The user can move the mold vector in real time and analyze the dynamic draft angle of a model, and define the minimum angle. |
| |
• Compute Weight - Computes the weight of a 3D model depending on the plastic material density. In this version you can work with surfaces, solids, and meshes. |
| |
• Unified Normals- Unifies surface normals. |
| |
• Orient from line to CPlane - When you analyze which is the best mold vector with Dynamic Draft Angle, you can create a line mold vector. With this tool you can orient the model in your current CPlane using this line. |
| |
• Minimum distance between surfaces this is a fast tool to analyze the thickness of a model. |
| |
• Viewport deform - this is a high-level cad software tool and it allows to deform the view in one direction. This tool is used to detect inflexions in curves and surfaces. |
| |
• Select surfaces by radius and maximum radius - Selects surfaces by radius. When you want to machine a model, you can select surfaces depending on the maximum radius of the tool you will use. If it does not select any surface, you can machine the whole model with this tool. If it detects some surfaces, you can not machine this surface because the tool is too big. |
|
|
| Split Cavity-Core Module: |
| |
• Split cavity and core - Ecavity-core split algorithm has been considerably improved and now it always
remembers which group each surface belongs to and registers all file changes. |
| |
| Plates Design Module: |
|
• RhinoMold Wizard - Creates the plates of a mold, using the standards from the most important manufacturers. This module supports update via internet, so you can extend your libraries. You can also define your molds and save them as User Molds. In RhinoMold 3.0 all the plates are solids and can be edited parametrically. |
| |
• Parametric Editable Plates - The plates are created as solids, and each plate is editable with only one click. Now you can define the mid point, 0,0,Z and the direct point with the same command. |
| |
| Mold Design: |
|
• Shrinkage - Apply shrinkage to a model. You can modify the list to add the most frequently used plastics. In v3.0 the shrinkage factor is saved in the file. This way we avoid errors caused when applying twice a shrinkage to a model. |
| |
• Hasco Library - RhinoMold 3.0 includes more than 1800 components, classified under 26 groups. You can share the library via intranet and install the library in a server. It is not necessary to have the files installed locally. |
| |
• RhinoMold Library - scalable mold component library. This library has currently more than 45.000 components from DME, Futaba, and Misumi. It can be updated via internet. You can share the library via intranet and install the library in a server. It is not necessary to have the files installed locally. |
| |
• User Library - with this tool you can create a user library. You can share the library via intranet and install the library in a server. It is not necessary to have the files installed locally. |
| |
• Rectangular Insert - this tool creates an insert in the cavity and core. You can change this by clicking on Both and selecting Z pos (positive) and/or Z neg. In this new version, you can create the face of the insert with a draft to make the adjustment easier. |
| |
• Cylindrical Insert - This tool creates an insert in the cavity and core. You can change this by clicking on Both and selecting Z pos (positive) and/or Z neg. In this new version, you can create the insert with a draft to make the adjustment easier. |
| |
• Define RhinoMold object - all elements inserted from the libraries or those created with RhinoMold have their own properties. However, you can define any object type as RhinoMold object and add properties like name, material, provider, web site, and comments. This components will be listed in the component list. |
| |
• Component list - Creats a list of all components of the model. |
|
| Drafting 2D: |
|
• Templates - Inserts a template in your 2D drafting. You can use RhinoMold default templates to create your own template files. |
| |
• Network - Inserts a network line for dimensional drafting. You can define the grid size and the grid line sizes. You can also automaticly detect the sizes from the model. |
| |
• Ordinate Dimensions - You can insert ordinate dimensions dinamically. Every dimension knows its position. If you modify the model, the values are automatically updated. |
| |
• Cross center - Inserts cross centers in circles/arcs. Computation algorithm has been improved. |
| |
• Hole center table - Creates a table from a 2D drawing with the hole center and radius. This tool is useful to create a report to drill the cooling system. |
