CAM software, as it relates to tool life, does two things: it controls the tool motion and the entry and exit of the workpiece material. The traditional way of driving machines using older algorithms have been superseded by newer tool motion using advanced algorithms—a technique that removes large amounts of material quickly using a dynamic [...]
Three terms define the business-success paradigm for today’s mold manufacturers and injection molders—particularly those who serve the automotive industry: quality, cycle time and cost. […]
Mold cleaning is required offline when the mold is on the bench and cold (room temperature); and, online when the mold is in the press and warm. Because of temperature differences, the cleaning solvents may have different degrees of effectiveness. Solvents that work well on the bench and evaporate at a convenient rate are usually [...]
Here we will discuss an approach for creating functional, high quality, 3-D elastomeric (rubber) parts for your product prototypes faster and easier than previously possible. This solution uses the capabilities of a 3-D printer, RTV (room temperature vulcanization) molding and casting, and a new CAD file manipulation tool that cuts hours to days out of [...]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding—saving plastic materials, since gas in the cavity occupies part of the volume, the product shall become thinner and lighter, generally by 20%--40%.
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding–short production cycle. Owing to the small injection volume of gas-assisted injection molding, […]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding--can be used to mold products with diverse wall-thickness. using gas-assisted injection molding can achieve uniform filling for products with diverse wall-thickness and, on the premises
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding—high surface quality. […]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding—slight warp and distortion of products. […]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding—low injection pressure and locking force, thereby reducing cost for equipment, since gas-assisted injection adopts “ underfeeding injection”, […]
