      <p class="para_topic">Parting is the process of creating a core and cavity based on a plastic part model. The Parting function provides tools to assist in performing parting functions quickly and with associativity. You use the parting functions after you have designed the work piece. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">When you are ready to begin the Parting process, you will use the Mold Wizard Parting Manager.

      <div class="title_division">Trim Based Cavity and Core Parting Process</div>
      <p class="para_division">In trim based cavity and core parting, a set of parting surfaces are created, duplicated, and combined with separated sets of cavity and core faces. The combined sets serve as trimming sheets that form the cavity and core blocks. This method is applicable to both solid models and surface models. </p>
