Abstract
In order to shorten manufacturing time for new products and their moulds, the use and the development of modern techniques are critical. One of such technologies is the rapid prototyping method, which enables to designers and customers to see the physical presentation of a new product. Application of the CAE methods is accentuated in the development phase of the product, which redounds to cost reducing on tools and moulds development. The paper deals with several steps in prototype development, the application of computer simulation by means of CAE system Moldflow MPI in mould development for mold plastic part and utilization of CAM system for NC programming of the mould manufacturing.
