In the molding industry, Mould is one of the essential production tools, but how to evaluate a set of mould, The heat exchange efficiency is an important parameter, In part two of our three-part sub-series on mold water cooling systems, we review water quality and its impact on mold performance. […]
In today’s mold design process, CAE technology is more and more important, before that, Our designers cannot ensure that their design is completely correct, Process simulation is the core of CAE technology. […]
The concept of integrated CAD/CAM have been popular for decades in mold industry, but now, it has been changed a lot and reached an entirely new level of value, what happened? […]
Now we have understood the importance of mold design review, do you know how to start? Generally, The mold designer then uses the information gathered for him from the previous steps to generate a mold design and submit a tool assembly drawing to the mold buyer for approval. The next step is mold design review, [...]
When our mold designer complete a mold design, what is the next step? Do you have a mold design review process? […]
Mold validation stages Does the mold work? Activities during this phase relate to the validation of the injection mold’s mechanics. The mold is mounted into the press and dry-cycled (no resin is injected) to ensure it opens and closes normally at operational temperature. […]
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. […]
When it comes to injection molds, the importance of an efficient cooling system cannot be overemphasized. A reduction of just one or two seconds in cooling time can lead to as much as a 10- to 20-percent increase in the production rate. That alone could directly affect the profitability of the job. However, saving time [...]
The moldmaking industry is often at the cutting edge of metalworking technology. Innovations in machine tool design, cutting tools and CNC programming are typically championed by moldmakers in their quest for increasingly precise tools. Highly accurate measurement tools are also becoming necessary for mold design and manufacturing, though the industry has been slower to adopt [...]
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: […]
