There are tools used in conjunction with CAD programs (such as SolidWorks,
Pro/Engineer, etc.) that aid in mold design. I don't know if they will
completely automate the creation of parting lines, but they do make the
process go a faster than doing it by hand. I suspect all of them require
some user input to guide the placement of the parting lines.
Is that the type of tool you are seeking?
