2. Key takeaways

1

The mold exam is called Mold Tools on the certification site, even though the videos refer to Mold Making.

2

Both exams require a solid command of surface bodies: trim, knit, fill.

3

The videos work through sample questions: use them as timed practice.

4

The Surfaces learning path in our knowledge base covers the core features to review before these two exams.

Tip

For these exams, keep the FeatureManager design tree clean and name your bodies: you will find the surface to edit faster when a question changes a value.

3. Do the exercise

Take the Surfacing or Mold Making sample exam:

  • answer each question before the solution
  • compare your method with the one in the video
  • redo on your own the question where your method differed the most
✓To check: Your final geometry gives the same result as the video for each question you worked on.
