MoldWorksDatasheet
Speed up your mold design process by automating your designs with MoldWorks. Save time by starting with a standard 3D solid based mold library, and modify your existing SolidWorks design interface to cater specifically to the task of mold design. This makes it easy to create the detailed mold tool, modify components and plates, check collisions, and output BOM and CNC data using menus suited to the mold design industry. With MoldWorks you can reduce the design time of your initial mold base from days to hours, and the detailed design time from weeks to days.

SplitWorksDatasheet
If you design plastic molded parts you can use SplitWorks to automate the creation and separation of mold cores and cavities. Using either native SolidWorks data or parts imported from other CAD systems, SplitWorks can automatically identify potential core, cavity, zero draft angle surfaces. With a color-coded preview of the part, you can quickly conceptualize and refine the potential core, cavity, and zero draft angle surfaces. According to the split direction, you will see which surfaces belong to the core and the cavity. For the ultimate in plastic mold creation productivity, partner this product with MoldWorks and get your parts out the door in record time.

BodyWorks
Do your products have an ergonomic factor? Don't you wish you could just plug a person right into your SolidWorks environment? With BodyWorks you can. BodyWorks contains a fully adjustable, SolidWorks Native, human body model built to fit specified body percentile heights. The accurate joint system will allow you to locate the body in the desired position. Best of all, BodyWorks is an extremely economical way to do preliminary ergonomic studies while you are initially designing your parts.
