If by mold you mean "mold tools" then here is an example. The model I show is very simple. Molds can get much more complex, but the steps remain pretty much the same. So... start with simple. Even simple take many steps. I have attached the model file in roll-up, so you can step through to see how it works.
Hope this helps. PS SW also has a tutorial on their help page as well.
