XMD presents the latest update to its mold design software, introducing automated clamping and built-in locating systems—a first for the industry, according to the company. The latest update is designed to automatically locate holes required for the FCS system based on the user’s exact specifications of the machine, facility and clamping tool. The system is also built to automate placement of new holes to solids imported from any software for quick placement even at the shopfloor level. XMD says that the software is used widely by mold manufacturers, incorporating the system into CNC machine tables such as FCS, FPT’s Fast Mill and more.
