The Hasco NX library, an innovative tool for mold designers, was developed in close cooperation with long-standing partners. An updated version, V4 2022, is now available, with approximately 100 additional components integrated into the system.
The library, which is designed as an NX native database, is geared precisely to the requirements of the Siemens NX CAD system. Once downloaded, it can be used directly in combination with NX. The NX native database holds around 80 new products and 20 updated product groups.
A key advantage to the online tool is the reuse library, Hasco says. Numerous standard mold units can be called up as CAD models and easily integrated into the design via drag and drop, accelerating the mold design process further.
Moreover, parametric model designs adapt automatically, depending on the particular assembly situation. For example, through the integration of latch-locking mechanisms into the system, designers can directly adjust the stroke during assembly.
