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, [...]
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. […]
Polishing may achieve special optical properties in a product. When enlight beams pass through the product wall( compact discs, mirrors, etc.), any major unevenness or waviness will distort the light and result in poor performance of the product.
Polishing may enhance the appearance of the product. This is the most common requirement in plastic molding. It should be noted, however, […]
Polishing may facilitate ejection. This applies generally to the finish of the core, including side cores, in cases where the product has projections produced by deep recesses in the cavity or where there is little draft angle specified, the cavity must also be free of any roughness that prevent easy ejection.
Polishing may prevent stress risers in a product. Any sharp indent or corner in hardened mold steel, usually created during grinding, will increase the risk of breakage caused by stress concentration. Such corners must be polished to remove the shape “ gouges”.
