1. This presentation contains an overview of the Mould Calculation process using CalcMaster and i-Know Moulding.
CalcMaster:
Calculation for injection moulding
i-Know Moulding: Instant mould creation from any 3D model.

2. Consider this sample product:
Dimensions: 195 x 178 x 57 mm
Wall thickness: 1,2 till 1,5 mm
Weight: 60 gram PP

3. We start in the CalcMaster
CalcMaster has many features. In this presentation, Mould Price Calculcation is demonstrated

4. To calculate the mould price, the user needs to complete these forms, one by one.
CalcMaster works with a unique rating system, which determines the mould price by rating a wide range op product properties.

5. The new interface with i-Know Moulding makes CalcMaster faster and more easy to use.
i-Know Moulding can be started directly from the CalcMaster main window

6. The product is imported as STL into i-Know Moulding
With only one single click, the mould creation process is started

7. The suggested mould geometry is generated automatically
i-Know Moulding raises warnings on possible problems during the tooling based on this geometry
If needed the user can edit the mould creation process manually

8. The new version of i-Know Moulding can extract CalcMaster parameters

9. Back in CalcMaster, the parameters can be imported
Open the parameter file, that is exported by i-Know Moulding

10. Most of the input that is needed for Calculation has been supplied by i-Know Moulding
The parameters from i-Know Moulding are translated automatically into the CalcMaster rating system

11. The user can edit and configure the proposal by CalcMaster
Like for example, the our rates of the employees

12. On the Calculation Form, the final mould price is displayed
Suggested mould price

13. CalcMaster has many features
Multiple cavity calculation
Division of the cost price

14. And much more: Mouldprice calculation.
Injection moulding data calculation.
Determining of most economical quantity of cavities.
Calculation of the complete costprice of the product.
Asking quotation for a mouldprice
Making a complete quotation from the mouldprice
And:
2 Components in 2 cavities.
2 Components in 1 cavity.
Left and Right product.
Stack molds
Softtools molds
1+1 product in the mold.
