Uniform shrinkage is important for injection molding products
If parts had completely uniform shrinkage, they wouldn’t warp, and they wouldn’t be injection molded. Non-uniform shrinkage exists in every part. […]
How to build your resilient supply chain after COVID-19
COVID-19 has brought trouble to the global supply chain. It exposed weaknesses that hindered the flow of business. Now, as the world takes steps to define a new post-epidemic normalized business model, manufacturers are rethinking their supply chains. Therefore, European and American companies have new requirements for overseas suppliers, that is, they need to create [...]
Introduce a new cooling technology in mold
Many mold builders and tooling engineers are in pursuit of the perfect tool for trying conformal cooling when in fact, the perfect mold is the one which they are currently struggling with, or the one simulation data determines will be a struggle. Then there are the processors who slow down mold cycles because of a [...]
Don’t confuse the meaning of Procurement and Sourcing
Many people simply think that the meaning of Procurement and Sourcing is the same, and it is used as the same word in many reports， In fact, Procurement and Sourcing are still very different. […]
Some experience in making efficient molds
While part quality and profits go hand-in-hand, high productivity (faster cycle times) alone can impair quality and reduce profits, if not performed correctly. […]
Some methods to improve mold machining
Dimensional and contour errors need to be so low in moldmaking as to be barely measurable and must certainly never be visible. These requirements are increasingly at odds with demands for higher productivity and lower costs. […]
How to evaluate Hot Runner Cost
Evaluating the cost justification for a hot runner mold requires careful consideration of cycle time, material type, annual volume, available press size and power consumption, […]
Conformal cooling channel will improve injection molding cycle
3D-printed molds with conformal cooling channels yield more efficient heat transfer, but the geometrically intricate channels may increase the likelihood of scaling. Scaling decreases flow and worsens the integrity of the cooling channel walls, which leads to leaking. […]
A better measurement method to improve mold quality
Mold builders who produce the highest quality molds should use the best quality control practices, as the quality of a mold is only as good as the accuracy and reliability of measurements. […]
Some experience in purchasing molds
Molds are considered a commodity. A statement all too familiar to most of us, as it has become the general attitude within the injection molding industry that hires employees who do not fully understand the complexity of manufacturing an injection mold. […]
