[XMDS] is a revolutionary development that has brought a number of exciting features to the world’s fastest mold design software. The videos on this page were captured from a live preview webinar presented in 2010.

1. Generating a Custom Mold Base
An overview of how to create a moldbase with [XMDS]. You can create standard or custom bases, faster than anyone else. You can use surface or wireframe. parts. Closed solids are not required. Actually,a part is not required.You can just key in a size of a part or group of parts.[VideoRowEnd]

2. 3D/2D Association
This video shows the direct relationship between XMD’s 3D design and the 2D one. Everything happens automatically whether you want to work more in a 2D mode rather than 3D or Vise-Versa. Anything you do in one mode automatically updates the other mode.

3. Modifying the Mold
Here we show you that it’s not only easy to create a moldbase quickly, it’s also east to change things up. With this type of simplicity and ease of use, the engineer can be free to experiment with different mold configurations.[VideoRowEnd]

4. Modifying and Reshaping Plates
Here we show you how fast and easy it is to reshape plates with XMD. We have given the user the ability to interact with KeyCreator and all of their excellent solid modeling tools. The results of the updates are automatically recalculated by XMD and the material list is updated.[VideoRowEnd]

5. Integrating KeyCeator Components And Smart Patterns
Here we are going to make easy work of adding hydraulic cylinders and the slots that are required to make them fit. We are using a combination of KeyCreator files and XMD files. All of XMD’s components are automatically added to the bill of materials. We also take a look at how easy it is to update XMD’s Smart Patterns.[VideoRowEnd]

6. Converting User Geometry To XMD Components
Many mold designers use different CAD applications for different purposes. In a continued effort to keep XMD a flexible and interactive product we have created the ability to convert your geometry into the XMD data base. XMD will automatically add this to the bill of materials. You can add water and holes and whatever you might need to get the job done in a fast and accurate manner.[VideoRowEnd]

7. New Water Tools And Techniques
We have added some new and more intuitive water line commands to the already plentiful arsenal of waterline creation tool in XMD. Now the waterlines are automatically added to the blocks that you specify that they should be in. The lines don’t go all the way through the solid thus saving you from some possible rework of the solid data. Also, the holes are created “live”. What yu see is what you get with XMD. There is no need to go back and do all of your subtractions when you are finished.[VideoRowEnd]

8. Adding And Updating User Geometry
This is similar to the previous video but this time I created something in KeyCreator, brought it into XMD’s view. I then went ahead and added the necessary screws and holes to complete this exercise. This is just another way to show you the ease of use and the new power of XMD.[VideoRowEnd]

9. Adding Water And Ejection
Water and ejection are crucial parts of any mold. XMD supplies you wit the tools to accomplish these important tasks easily. There are numerous different component vendors built into XMD’s database and you can choose any of them. You can also mix and match vendors as well as mix and matching metric and imperial components, in the same tool. More flexibility more options and more productivity.[VideoRowEnd]

10. 2D Detail Drawing And the Bill Of Materials
XMD makes simple and easy to understand detail drawings. We create our own drawing routines, remove te unnecessary chamfers and other lines that have a tendency to clutter the 2D drawing s from other products. XMD makes a simple, drafting board quality drawing…Simple and easy to look at.
XMD’s bill of materials is, in a word, easy. There are a couple of different ways to create your BOM and there are different ways to get it out of XMD and quickly into the purchasing manager’s hands.[VideoRowEnd]
