R&B Ltd. Launches MoldWorks 2001; Heralded MoldWorks 2001 Offers Added Intelligence for Computer-Aided Mold Design.Business Editors, High Tech Writers FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2000 R&B Ltd., a leading mold and die design software developer, announces MoldWorks(TM) 2001 software. MoldWorks 2001 is the premier 3D solid based molding design application that delivers innovative design tools for the injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. industry. Its powerful functionality significantly reduces the tedious and time-consuming work of creating mold base assemblies. Using MoldWorks 2001, modifications that may be required during or after the mold design process are automatically propagated throughout the assembly. Seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. within SolidWorks(R) software allows the full use of SolidWorks modeling capabilities to provide a complete mold design environment. Several new, state-of-the-art features include: -- Automatic propagation of plate parameter changes to the completed mold -- Transformation and/or duplication of components -- New part catalogs -- New components include shoulder screws, dowel pins, tabular dowel pins, lifting holes, conical interlocks and o-rings -- User defined preferences "We've added tremendous new capabilities to MoldWorks 2001," says Frederick Dudek, R&B Mold & Die Design USA president. "This technology allows mold makers to become much more productive, as well as adding value to their designs in a much more efficient manner. MoldWorks 2001 is a mission critical tool for anyone using SolidWorks for mold design." SolidWorks users can extract core and cavity insets, side cores, pins, and electrodes Electrodes Tiny wires in adhesive pads that are applied to the body for ECG measurement. Mentioned in: Electrocardiography from the plastic part using SplitWorks(TM), a seamlessly integrated application from R&B that helps streamline that process, then use MoldWorks 2001 to complete the mold design. Other features include dynamic preview of the initial mold base by choosing from one of the many standard commercial libraries. MoldWorks 2001 supports a wide range of components from commercial catalog catalog, descriptive list, on cards or in a book, of the contents of a library. Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh was cataloged on shelves of slate. The first known subject catalog was compiled by Callimachus at the Alexandrian Library in the 3d cent. B.C. libraries such as ejectors, guide pins, etc, as well as a facility to create custom parts. MoldWorks 2001 simplifies the process of creating complex cooling lines and a collision utility allows detection of thin walls. Plates and components can be quickly added or removed, moved or modified. Modifications are performed on all the relevant plates using R&B's intuitive computer-aided mold design (CAMD CAMD Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices CAMD Clean Air Markets Division (US EPA) CAMD Computer-Assisted Molecular Design CAMD Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal CAMD Carl Asmis Memorial Dressage Association ) intelligence. A dynamic bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. is integrated into the standard SolidWorks functionality. Utilities include a copy function to add components by translation/reflection and others. Robert McGill, SolidWorks Partner Program Manager, adds, "R&B continues to add powerful new functionality to their Gold integrated products and MoldWorks 2001 should be on the must-see list for every mold designer. Parametrically driven mold design technology will soon be viewed as an indispensable tool for any mold maker looking to create complex molds more quickly and efficiently." Pricing and availability MoldWorks 2001 is priced regionally and is available in December 2000.

About R&B Mold & Die Design R&B, Ltd. develops and markets powerful, easy-to-use 3D computer-aided mold design (CAMD) tools for the plastic mold and die industry. The company was created in 1994 as a separate organization through the combination of investments from Regba Kal, Israel's largest mold maker, and Bercom, a leading supplier of computer-aided engineering See CAE. Computer-aided engineering Any use of computer software to solve engineering problems. With the improvement of graphics displays, engineering workstations, and graphics standards, computer-aided engineering (CAE) has come to mean the computer solutions for mechanical design and finite element analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. . R&B's CAMD technology is embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. within several commercial CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. packages. Today over 1,000 mold makers around the world are using R&B's products.
