Progressive Components announces the release of its CADalog v14, a streamlined CAD offering for designers of injection molds. Available at no charge either online or via a flash drive, Progressive says its CADalog helps reduce redundant mold design tasks and is available in industry-standard formats for SolidWorks, NX, VISI, Parasolid, ACIS and IGES.
New to v14 are advancements geared towards simplifying custom component creation and ordering of Mold-Ready components. Mold designers who utilize the CADalog can now access a newly created SolidWorks library featuring configurable CAD geometry with populated attributes for ordering cut-to-length parts for products such as alignment locks, ejector pins and sleeves, UniLifters, angle pins, slide retainers, leader pins, bushings, support pillars and cooling items, and more.
In four easy steps, users can reportedly design parts using the Configurable CAD Library, automatically generate the Mold-Ready part numbers to enter into the BOM, send the finalized spreadsheet (BOM) via email to customer service, and then receive the customized parts quickly and ready for assembly.
