Case Studies from Indian Tool Rooms
Real results from tool rooms that adopted SOLIDWORKS for mold and die design.
Pune Automotive Tool Room
30% fewer mold trials
A Pune-based automotive tool room adopted SOLIDWORKS Mold Design to replace their 2D workflow. Core-cavity splitting and draft analysis reduced design errors, cutting mold trial iterations from an average of 5 to 3.5 per project.
- 5 to 3.5 trial iterations
- 40% faster design cycle
- Zero rework on parting surfaces
Ahmedabad Plastic Mold Maker

Frequently Asked Questions
SOLIDWORKS Premium includes the Mold Tools add-in which covers core-cavity splitting, parting line analysis, draft analysis, and mold base libraries. For mold flow simulation, you will need SOLIDWORKS Plastics as an add-on. Contact us for a tailored recommendation based on your specific requirements.
Yes. SOLIDWORKS supports multi-cavity mold layouts including family molds with different cavities. You can design complete mold assemblies with runners, gates, cooling channels, ejector systems, and standard mold base components from libraries like DME and HASCO.
Yes. We offer a dedicated 24-hour Advanced Mold Design training module covering core-cavity splitting, parting surfaces, runners and gates, cooling channels, and draft analysis. This is available as classroom training in Bangalore or live online sessions.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics integrates directly into the CAD environment. You can run fill analysis, cooling analysis, and warp prediction without exporting geometry to a separate tool. Results are displayed as colour plots on your 3D model for immediate design feedback.
