• Template Specific Information

  • Editing Tool Parameters
    • Once the Mold Base template has been selected, click on the folder shown below to edit the Tool Parameters
      • 
    • Here we can edit the tool length, width, gap between plates and rails, injection opening value
      • Also, in the tool information section, we can see the overall tool height and the ejector stroke
        • These values update automatically when adjusting plate, block, and rail sizes
    • The gap between rails and plates parameter refers to the amount of space between a rail and a plate, as shown below
      • 
    • The injection opening value overlaps the cover block with the ejector block
      • If you put in a value of -10.0″, the cover block and all the pertaining plates and rails for the cover build up will be shifted down -10.0″ as illustrated below
