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. [...]
Have you found any good EDM operators lately? If so, count yourself lucky. If not, you probably know that you are not alone. The current scarcity of skilled labor facing the manufacturing industry is unprecedented. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a skilled EDM operator, what happens when that person gets sick or [...]
When it comes to molding very small threaded plastic parts, including those with undercuts or straight walls, size does matter—but not as much as it used to. […]
With manufacturers putting increased pressure on their suppliers for cost savings and efficiencies, mold manufacturers are being challenged to produce consistent, accurate product cost quotes. These challenges include the need for: […]
There has been a long-standing, unresolved debate over whether graphite or copper is a better EDM electrode material. The preference is most always the same in any one geographical region. In North America , the preferred electrode material has shifted from copper to graphite. In Europe and Asia, many argue that copper is the preferable [...]
The use of CAE for injection molding simulation has progressed from flow-front prediction in the late ‘70s to full simulation of the injection molding process, its variants and associated processes. Injection molding simulation benchmarking is the comparison of predicted and actual process parameters. Typically, an extensive study is carried out on a mold, machine and [...]
Polishing is essentially the removal of metal by the action of free abrasive grains carried to the work piece by a tool. The difference between these methods is only the degree of removal. […]
