An integrated approach made it simpler, more cost-effective and time-efficient for First-rate mold company. Having one supplier coordinate the mold base and hot half freed up a lot of time for Sullivan to focus on the cavities and cores of the mold. The designs of the hot half were formatted and attached to the mold [...]
Designing a product for high production tooling involves considerations that must be closely evaluated: gating location, part ejection, wall thickness, material flow characteristics, cycle time, hot runner feasibility and assembly at high rates. […]
Managing heat and delivering resin at a consistent temperature is the role of the nozzle. There are several features that one should consider before making a nozzle choice. It is important to maintain consistent heat due to the temperature processing window unique to today’s highly engineered resins. Engineered resins have an ideal target temperature that [...]
