How to price a mold
Pricing is a critical step in the mold building process that does not get the attention that it deserves. Shops use several methods, and some are more effective than others. […]
Mold-cleaning strategies are important for molds
Mold-cleaning strategies, like the molds themselves, take many forms and the array of options is wide. Suppliers understand that customers want efficient and effective methods that will not affect surface treatments adversely or damage the critical-to-function areas of molds. […]
3-D has been popular in mold design
3-D solid design greatly simplifies the standardization and synchronization between design and manufacturing, reduces errors, speeds up delivery, and achieves more reliable results. […]
Injection Molding Process
The fused materials in the mold cavity restore from viscous and fluid state to glassy state after being cooled. After complete cooling and molding, […]
High-quality mesh technology will help molding simulation
High-speed, high-quality mesh technology automatically generates the high-resolution hexa-based mesh in which the mesh model perfectly matches the original runner design with high accuracy. […]
Maintain the hot runner system regularly and efficiently
Technicians usually remove the valve pins and piston components first so that they can gain access to the manifold. Some systems have as many as 10 components per position, comprising the piston-cup assembly (not including the seals), which technicians must carefully remove and place in a holder or tray so as not to damage or [...]
What is Injection?
When the screw stops rotating and moves backward, the mold clamping part begins to work to close the mold and the injection unit subsequently moves forward to make the nozzle and mold spruing gate joint with each other; […]
Introduction To Plastication
The raw materials of plastics fall into the charging barrel from the hopper and are sent forward by the rotating screw. While in the charging barrel, the plastics, on the one hand, receive heating and warming from outside of the barrel, and on the other hand, are compacted due to the gradual reduction of the [...]
Introduction to Industry 4.0 in mold industry
Smart manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0,refers to a wide range of practices that use advanced technologies in a variety of combinations, from robotics and automation to additive manufacturing and cloud computing to big data and analytics. […]
Automation needs Standardization
You need to organize the material flow properly, be transparent about planning and control operations and identify standardization and modularization potentials throughout the entire order-fulfillment process, from costing to design and programming to production.To […]
