There are many many sharp corners in every plastic product, what does a sharp corner mean? Sharp corners greatly increase the stress concentration during injection molding.it could lead to failure of plastic parts, especially for the high amount of stress concentration. So generally, as a mold or plastic produce designer, when he or she meet [...]
Boss design is a common design in a plastic part, it is used for mating part or for attaching fasteners such as screws or accepting threaded inserts. […]
the material additive processes lead fastest to moldings and are therefore the most promising. These also include new and further in RP. Examples of such techniques are laser sintering, […]
Safety must be a primary consideration of the mold designer. How can a mold, or any heavy mold part, handled safely? No person should repeatedly lift parts heavier than 20KG or any part which is awkward to handle, regardless of weight, without some mechanical assistance, such as a hoist. […]
Time and cost are becoming more and more important factors in the development of new products. It is therefore extremely important for the injection molding industry to produce prototypes that can go into production as quickly as possible. […]
Today morning, I have a meeting with our mold designers about the mold design solution for a new product, we discuss too much design details, I want to pick out some of them to share with every one: […]
As an experienced industrial designer, especially for a mold designer, when he or she designs a plastic part, the wall thickness need to be considered carefully,On the premise of meeting the requirements of product use function and injection molding, the designers should know how to design a minimum wall thickness, because during injection molding process, [...]
as an experienced mold engineer, I know that it is not easy to design a perfect plastic product, many aspects need to be considered, so when we select a CAD/CAM software for plastic product design and mold manufacture, […]
With the development of CAD/CAM software, in our mold industry, their Advantages are getting more and more highlighted, especially for plastic product design and mold manufacturing. actually Plastic Products and Molds Require Specialized CAD/CAM, Professional mold engineers increasingly rely on them, at least in china, in mold industry, UGNX, CATIA, PRO/E , Cimatron E, Powermill, [...]
Valve gate hot runner technology produces better-quality plastic parts and faster cycle times by offering the most accurate gate control available. Valve gate systems are also an essential tool for automated injection molding because they enable faster mold start-ups, a wider processing window, and clean gates with no stringing or drooling of melt.
