Home Gating System Design (HPDC)
CAST-DESIGNER Basic is an efficient and flexible design tool to develop gating system for die
casting in very short time. CAST-DESIGNER can quickly convert a gating system design idea to 3D
CAD model for design evaluation. The unique smart parametric design concept of CAST-DESIGNER
enables user to modify parameter e.g. gate width, draft angle; runner etc. at any stage of design and
accordingly 3D CAD model will change automatically. It is possible to create the complete gating
system including inner gates, gate runners, runners, overflows as well as cooling and venting systems
within ten minutes to half an hour for a typical.

It is Design not Draft. Cast-Designer is not only faster but also better for design quality. The left
picture show the designed gating system in Siemens NX. The user who was 5 years experience in
Casting and NX CAD system, and spent 4 hours for the gating system design. However, the section
area of the gating system was not controlled well. The right one was designed by an engineer with 1
years experience in Casting and Cast-Designer system. It is clear, the section area control and gate
location was much better than before.
Draft Design:
The draft design is an unique feature implemented in CAST-DESIGNER which facilitates a
practical means of natural design in die casting. With this feature, the designer can start his idea on the
draft paper, meeting board, any graphics software and even the communication FAX paper with
customer, such hard draft could be snapped shot or scanned to transfer to CAST-DESIGNER in
image format, such as BMP, TIF or JPG format. One can superimpose casting 3D CAD model on this
draft and create gating system design inside cast-Designer. Another usage is converting the bitmap to
CAD vector components for more flexibility capability for complex design, such as snap, extract,
translation and free zoom.
