CSWP Mold Design 2

Question 1

In SOLIDWORKS Draft Analysis, what does a GREEN color on a face typically indicate?

Accepted Answer

The face has positive draft and is properly angled for mold release

Answer

The face has negative draft and will not release from the mold

Answer

The face is a straddle face crossing the parting line

Answer

The face has zero draft and is perfectly vertical

Question 2

What is the purpose of side cores (slides) in injection mold design?

Accepted Answer

To form undercut features that cannot be released in the primary pull direction

Answer

To add additional ejector pins in deep core pockets

Answer

To increase the cavity volume for thick-walled sections

Answer

To cool the parting line region more effectively

Question 3

Which SOLIDWORKS Mold Tools feature generates the surface that divides the mold workpiece into core and cavity halves?

Accepted Answer

Parting Surface

Answer

Parting Line

Answer

Ruled Surface

Answer

Lofted Surface

Question 4

What does Undercut Detection in SOLIDWORKS identify on a molded part?

Accepted Answer

Areas of geometry that cannot be released in the specified pull direction

Answer

Regions where two assembly components interfere

Answer

Faces that have an insufficient draft angle

Answer

Wall sections that are below the minimum thickness for the material

Question 5

When applying the Scale feature for mold shrinkage, what does the origin point control?

Accepted Answer

The center point from which the part geometry expands uniformly

Answer

The direction in which the part is scaled

Answer

The material shrinkage percentage used in calculations

Answer

The location of the parting line after scaling

Question 6

What does a RED color on a face in SOLIDWORKS Draft Analysis indicate?

Accepted Answer

The face has negative draft and will resist mold release

Answer

The face has positive draft and is ready for mold release

Answer

The face is a neutral (parting) face with zero draft

Answer

The face contains an undercut requiring a side core

Question 7

After performing a Tooling Split in SOLIDWORKS, the resulting core and cavity bodies are stored in which type of file?

Accepted Answer

A multi-body part file (.sldprt) with multiple solid bodies

Answer

Separate individual part files (.sldprt)

Answer

An assembly file (.sldasm) containing both bodies

Answer

A drawing file (.slddrw) with section views
