Opis

Designing in die casting is a critical activity for die manufacturing. Further, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential in design of a die casting die. Design of gating system for a die casting die is dependent upon a various parameters which are influenced by part design, die casting machine and die casting alloy. Gating system design requires lot of manual input and a number of iterations to finalize the design. This requires a good knowledge of die casting process, making this activity completely dependent on the user. In present day industry, lot of CAD/CAM tools are applied for design, development and manufacturing of a die casting die. However, need of die casting expert throughout design and manufacturing of die-casting die makes it a quite lengthy process. Gating system design being one of the major activities in die design also takes much time. Therefore, it would be quite beneficial to develop a system for automated generation of gating system. Proposed system takes CAD file of the die casting part as input and uses die casting process, machine and alloy knowledge to determine different parameters for the gating system.
