Step by step tutorial on injection mold design

[mercury]

Hello,

I am new here.

I searched the forum already and did not find a question or tutorials similar to what I am asking about.

I am looking for a step by step guide (like codecademy) that shows how to design an injection mold.

Youtube only has 1 video but that audio is so bad that the video isn't viewable.

Maybe there are websites with tutorials using freecad?

thanks,

you could address freecad-heini-1, who has produced such videos. sometimes they are no longer in the network, but it will definitely upload them somewhere if you ask for them

Hello freecad-heini-1, can you please share your videos on peertube or some website if you want to and you are able to?

Thanks.

It might help if you were more specific, are you designing a mold or do you want to design the part to be molded.

Hi. I want to design the molds (the metal/steel block).

all the seller (or manufacturer) of supplies for molds: blocks, columns, guides etc ... all have a CAD version, but in commercial formats: DWG ..., you will have to redraw them in Fc
for imprints, if you are in the business, you know that you have to recalculate all the dimensions according to the indentations and undercuts and choose the parting lines
when you have all that, a Boolean subtraction of the part minus the imprint block will give you the cavity, then the ejectors, the drawers, the injection point are to be placed

Guten Tag mercury,
I had a peertube channel on Mastodon that had a lot of videos on Freecad. Unfortunately, the entire channel was deleted. On Rumble you can find two videos about mould making with Freecad. They are in German, but if you look at the icons they are certainly comprehensible.

Here are the videos:

I hope this helps you a little bit.
Many greetings and a nice weekend
Wilfried

if you have a simple example, i can give you some rudiments
if you read french, look at this post, it deals with a very concrete example
