title="Tata Technologies Autodesk CAD Geek Speak: We have the answers to your Autodesk questions!"

Many of our customers often wait to start using the newest releases of Autodesk and other software products until a service pack has been released.  If you happen to work for one of these companies it’s time to start pushing for your new installs.  Autodesk has been releasing the service packs for a variety of their programs.  What is a service pack:

A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Many companies, such as Autodesk, typically release a service pack when the number of individual patches to a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit. Installing a service pack is easier and less error-prone than installing a high number of patches individually, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network.

Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc.  They may also bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

    Autodesk Moldflow analysis results can help you determine how well your part design will fill, identify where defects might occur, and assess potential warpage. However, it may be difficult to decide whether the results are actually significant when attempting to interpret them graphically. Using Autodesk Showcase, you can visualize how the part might actually look in real life and determine whether the defects are really visible to the eye, enabling you to assess part quality and decide whether the design should be optimized.

    Once you have analysis results, the Export for Defect Visualization feature becomes active. You can access this tool from the Results menu or from the Tools tab in the Study Tasks pane using the classic user interface style, or from the Results tab using the new user interface style. You can choose to export the part surface only, or you can include sink marks and/or warpage results, with or without a scale factor.

This feature is available for Dual Domain and 3D models.

This post talks about and contains easy to find resources for any company today that designs or has plastic parts manufactured. Autodesk has a great solution to make these companies profitable and competitive in the injection mold industry. To learn more about any of the products available today please contact us at:
cadgeeks@tatatechnologies.com

Is your company using or producing plastic parts? The injection mold industry is facing unique challenges that Autodesk has a solution for, these challenges consist of:

· Global competition for Tooling Jobs
· Increasing Complexity of designs
· Need for better Quality products
· Reduced lead time
· Losing experienced mold makers

The answer is “AIT” – Inventor Tooling Suite
AIT Mold Design gives designers and engineers intelligent tools and catalogs to quickly and accurately generate mold designs directly from the digital prototype. Additional benefits are:

· Improve the tool design efficiency
· Improve the quality of tooling designs
· Be able to effectively compete on price
· Minimize the need for physical prototypes
· Be able to quote accurately on jobs

Your can download a trial of Autodesk Inventor Tooling software to try it out on your own for 30 days with the link provided. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?id=13744393&siteID=123112

This past week Tata Technologies hosted two Better and Better Webinars covering functionality of the following:

12/9 – Better & Better Webcast – Intro To Autodesk Inventor Tooling – https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/223621627

· Validate manufacturability of your design with Moldflow capabilities
· Optimize plastic injection mold design
· Automation of complex operations such as cavity and core creation
· Access to many standard catalogs for mold bases, sliders, lifters, ejectors and much more!

12/10 – Better & Better Webcast – Introduction to Autodesk Moldflow Advisor – https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/179499866

· Optimize plastic part and mold designs before manufacturing begins
· Predict potential defects before mold tooling is cut
· Validate your design’s manufacturability

We have recently produced Autodesk Inventor Tooling Tutorial videos on YouTube. Please select the link below if you own the technology today or would like to investigate its functionality further.
