注塑成型是大规模生产塑料件的核心工艺。尽管现有算法可对简单几何形状使用标准两板模实现自动化设计,但含侧孔、倒扣或内凹特征的复杂零件仍面临巨大挑战,通常需额外辅助部件。实际设计高度依赖专家经验,且公共数据集匮乏限制了学习方法的发展。为此,我们构建了MoldCAD数据集,将复杂单体CAD零件与工业标准模具装配配对,包含上模、下模、分型面、脱模方向及必要辅助组件。数据集共含4,934个CAD模型和超过3,850套模具装配,总计超23,000个独立模型。基于此,我们提出一套完整流程,可预测脱模方向、识别辅助组件并构建分型面,生成可用于下游CAD/CAM流程的完整可制造模具装配。实验表明该方法为实现全自动工业模具设计提供了可行路径,并推动了制造感知的CAD生成发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Injection molding is the cornerstone of mass-producing plastic components. While current algorithms can automate mold design for basic geometries using standard two-piece molds, complex parts featuring undercuts, side holes, or re-entrant features present a significant challenge. These geometries often necessitate auxiliary components beyond the primary upper and lower molds. In practice, designing these intricate assemblies is a laborious process that relies heavily on expert knowledge. Furthermore, the scarcity of public datasets has hindered the development of effective learning-based solutions. To bridge these gaps, we introduce MoldCAD, a curated dataset that pairs complex single-body CAD parts with industry-standard mold assemblies. Each entry includes the upper and lower molds, parting surfaces, demolding orientations, and necessary auxiliary components. The dataset comprises 4,934 CAD models and over 3,850 mold assemblies, totaling more than 23k individual models. Building upon this dataset, we propose a comprehensive pipeline that predicts demolding orientations, identifies auxiliary components, and constructs parting surfaces to derive a complete, manufacturing-ready mold assembly for downstream CAD/CAM workflows. Our results demonstrate a promising path toward fully automated industrial mold design and contribute to the broader advancement of manufacturing-aware CAD generation.
