Abstract: Die-design for the die-casting process is a time consuming and non-trivial task that requires domain knowledge and vast experience of a die-designer. Complexity of the die-design activity further increases in case of a multi-cavity die. In the present research work an attempt has been made to develop a computer-aided system, which facilitates design of a multi-cavity die-casting die taking part product model as input. The proposed system, multi-cavity die designer, works as an add-on application to an existing CAD software namely SolidWorks. To demonstrate capabilities of the developed system, the results for two industrial case study parts are presented. Proposed system is a step forward to design-manufacturing integration for die-casting process.
