Mold making basics

[Anonymous]

I am new to fusion 360. i am designing a mold for a foam weapon. I am curious if fusion has a set of mold making tools i can utilize to prepare an stl for 3d printing. I have my part modeled and am ready to begin. I can go the combine subtract from a box extrusion and bang one out that way but i would like to know if there exists features to rival solid works parting line split line shut off surfaces tooling split operations. all the information I have been able to locate is relevant to CAM and i want to print my molds for prototyping. Thank you and Happy New Year.

I don't see any draft.   Where do you want the parting line?

SWx type mold tools? No.

I would like the parting ling in the middle of the red face. I modeled it symmetrically.

I saw how you came to the finished mold Thank you. Does fusion have mold making commands like solid works?
