The process of designing mold cavity and core
The old fashioned way but still being used by some mold manufacturers. Designing a mold cavity and core in 2D. Some mold designers may use different procedure. […]
Guidelines for setting the correct mold temperature
molds are becoming more and more complex, and as a result it is getting ever more difficult to create the proper conditions for effective mould temperature control. Except in the case of simple parts, […]
More details about cooling devices
Cooling of large cores For large core diameters (40 mm and larger), a positive transport of coolant must be ensured. This can be done with inserts in which the coolant reaches the tip of the core through a central bore and is led through a spiral to its circumference, […]
Introduction to the cooling device of mold
For areas in the mold where it is not possible to use normal drilled cooling channels, alternative methods must be employed to ensure these areas are uniformly cooled with the rest of the part. […]
Guidelines for optimal mold temperature control
In general, the cooling system will be roughly drilled or milled. Rough inner surfaces enhance turbulent flow of coolant, thus providing better heat exchange. […]
