To get product of required shape tool design is basic requirement, and pressure die casting process involves injection of the molten metal into a die under high pressure of up-to 300MPa and this pressure is maintained until the liquid metal cools and then the solid casting is ejected out of the cavity. It is process for production of simple and complex shape, in which part weights ranging from a few grams to more than 16kg, process is used across the world by the metal working industries. Computer aided design and manufacturing tools are extensively used in the die-casting process at different stages, such as part design, die design and manufacturing. The role of computer-aided design (CAD) tools has facilitated to achieve greater levels of automation in various activities of the die-casting die-design. In spite of the use of CAD tools, the requisite system support in several activities of the die-design is lacking. Some of these activities are cavity layout design, gating system design, and corecavity design. in all manufacturing industries before starting the actual production estimation is one of the very important step but over estimating increases the cost of production and under estimation leads the heavy loss. Hence accurate estimation is very important for smooth production and higher productivity in same time. The project is based on estimating the cost of “single cavity Pressure Die Casting die” with respect to time, to reduce the manufacturing lead time. This project is basically automation based design on pressure die casting. It is based on unigraphics & also gives a view of design consideration involved in Mould & Die casting dies.
