Mold Quote > Electrodes

Access: Open this function from the following location:

  • Select Mold Design > Mold Quote > Electrodes from the menu bar.

Define the required Electrodes machining and also their burning areas. These electrodes are to be milled and are therefore priced according to the required milling strategies of rough and finish, and by the required stock material.

The Electrode Table displays the relevant data. This information is used later when generating quoting data.

The Electrodes function enables you to capture Electrode information, by fast placement of electrodes based on burn faces and parametric stock sizes. The function enables you to capture data (for quoting purposes) for the following items, by which electrode cost is driven by:

Stock size and material

Required Stock machining (Volume and Surface)

Burning process (machining time)

You will be able to define (or change):

Burning area

Stock parametric shape (Rectangular or Circular), size and height

Stock Material

Burning depth (including a factor for complex burning processes)
