molds;  glass shell;  computer-aided design;  Computer-aided manufacturing

The EUCLID software system is applied to the production of glass shell, according to the production characteristics, how to use CAD system to establish glass shell mold database, use CAM to automatically generate data processing programs, and use CAE software to analyze the mold cavity cooling system and temperature field under high temperature forming state, so as to predict potential defects in the design and produce molds that meet industrial requirements. The practice has proved that the CAD/CAM system is practical and effective, while the CAE system software needs further research.
