Mold Design

All mold designs are done by our internal mechanical engineering staff and are fully 3-D. This 3D approach allows for interference checking and correct design of all moving mold actions. We start with your part geometry and if solid models are available we use your exact surfaces to begin the design process. We prefer to use 3D solid model geometry, and interface with all solid modeling systems via STEP or IGES. If the part is in a 2D format we may be required redraw some or all of the part in 3D to check geometry and allow for CNC programming. By using this 3D design approach even the smallest mold detail is not overlooked, and is exactly what the customer specified. Marathon Mold uses CAD/CAM software from Cimatron. This software allows for the design and NC programming to be done in the same file. This concept reduces time and errors of translation.

Marathon Mold is an expert at manufacturing of complex surface parts. If your parts have highly complex surfaces trust the experts at Marathon Mold with your next project.
