Job Description
Job Description :
Design and/or modify customer provided CAD data utilizing foundry casting principles to create 3D models from which mold and/or core tooling will be built.
Responsibilities/Duties:
- Work directly with foundry tooling engineers on the design, configuration and build layout of mold and core box tooling.
- Layout multiple cavity tooling as directed by tooling engineering.
- Design cores including print area to satisfy casting requirements.
- Utilize 3D CAD software (PowerShape, Inventor, Creo, NX, etc.) to modify, shrink, draft, radii, and fillets.
- Assist CAM Designer on the transfer of model information for CNC cut path generation.
- Understand the design and build of Disamatic mold patterns, core setters, Laempe / CB / D75 core machines, and definers.
- Generate build and assembly drawings for pattern shop. Answer any questions that may arise.
- Work with other pattern personnel to determine tooling rework strategies.
- Responsible for making recommendations in regard to process improvements as well as new technology.
- Train personnel as required.
- Order materials as needed.
Qualifications/Requirements:
- 5 or more years of related experience and/or training, including CNC Machining experience and working knowledge of 3D CAD systems utilizing surfacing.
- Ability to create 3D models from 2D layout drawings.
- Ability to apply non-uniform shrink, draft and offset parting to models.
- Understanding of off-set parting and pattern offsets
- Able to calculate stock materials based on model information.
- Ability to compare 3D part models to 2D casting layout drawings for accuracy and sufficient stock material.
- Employ critical thinking, logic, and reasoning to troubleshoot and solve problems.
- Must possess good written and oral communication skills.
