Mold tooling in solidworks is multi steps procces. Where you must create part or model in the first. so many way to create molding core cavity in SolidWorks.
1. open the file of part or you can import part to SolidWork
2. Repair file of part
   - This step if your part design have a some trouble in surface of part design. SolidWorks can repair it use import fiture diagnostic.
3. Check the correct of draft design
  - this steps used for checking mold tooling product. You can use draft analysis fiture.
4 Repair the face (un-draft)
 - If your product have some trouble in draft you can use draft in command manager mold tools.
5. Scale
 - The product design must bigger than the real product. Because if the product opened, the product become smaller.
6. Setting parting lines
 - parting lines must be create, it use to set parting surface in the future.
7. Create shut-off surface for hole on pruduct
8. Create parting surface
9. Develop interlock surface
  - taper face create to help locked mold tooling together if it close. the angle of taper is 5 degre
10. Separate mold tooling component
  - the final steps of mold design is separate solid bodies from product and from parting surface
11. Create individual part
12. Fit out of mold
  - assembly mold will to join with other fiture like runners, gates, mold base, cooling lines, etc.
