Abstract: Combined with the practical teaching of the mold design course in the major of Aircraft Manufacturing Engineering, the parts characteristics and cold stamping die design process are summarized and a method of mold design flow is put forward. Then, a teaching software for cold stamping die design is developed based on CATIA platform to facilitate teachers in the teaching process. Based on this software, teachers can quickly show more sets of different parameters of the mold design process. This achievement could enhance the students’ knowledge and improve teaching effectiveness.

Key words: cold stamping die, die design, CATIA, secondary development
