Moldmakers are facing the music of Industry 4.0, and—no surprise here—the conductor is the customer. Expectations for customer service are higher than ever and reshaping how businesses operate. It’s no longer enough to tighten up customer-facing roles and processes; every piece of the shop must be optimized to deliver. Quoting is no exception—it’s the overlooked [...]
Automotive headlight reflector (also called mirror) is a part of Automotive headlight lighting system, its reflection function can avoid direct light. It is located inside the lens and the decorative frame, and is assembled with the lens. The lens can be seen through the lens from the outside of the lamp. […]
A well-designed injection molded part depends on many factors. The correct flow of resin into the mold is one of them. Moldflow is a professional software to simulate injection molding, which is used to simulate the flow of resin in the geometry of parts in a digital manner. The resulting data will essentially help you [...]
If you are reading this blog, you are either a mold maker, or your job involves a major collaboration with a mold maker. I am a mold engineer. In my career, I have worked in the mold industry for more than 20 years. In these 20 years, I often talk about the importance of molds. [...]
Do you want to be a qualify injection mold designer who knows what works rather than what should work? […]
The injection molding process does not require mold flow analysis. But maybe it should be, especially considering that it helps predict production problems before production starts. Mold flow analysis software can simulate the injection molding cycle, using specific plastics and part designs. It evaluates the manufacturability of the design before manufacturing the mold. In this [...]
The global plastic injection parts market is currently valued at US$325 billion, and this number is expected to increase by 5.7% by 2025. Stimulated by the rapid development of the Asian economy, the use of process efficiency and new resin chemistry, […]
I often hear questions about Moldflow，Here I would like to provide professional answers to some of these questions： […]
A mold design almost always involves a certain amount of compromise. The part design may include features that could make the mold either difficult to construct or difficult to operate. […]
