Some tips about designing an injection mold
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: […]
The wall thickness is very important for a plastic part
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, [...]
How to choose a suitable CAD/CAM software
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, […]
The Advantages of CAD/CAM are getting more and more highlighted
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, [...]
Valve gate hot runner technology will innovate mold design
Valve gate hot runner technology produces better-quality plastic parts and faster cycle times by offering the most accurate gate control available. Valve gate systems are also an essential tool for automated injection molding because they enable faster mold start-ups, a wider processing window, and clean gates with no stringing or drooling of melt. [...]
What is a perfect EDM？
Have you found any good EDM operators lately? If so, count yourself lucky. If not, you probably know that you are not alone. The current scarcity of skilled labor facing the manufacturing industry is unprecedented. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a skilled EDM operator, what happens when that person gets sick or [...]
The molding technology of small plastic parts
When it comes to molding very small threaded plastic parts, including those with undercuts or straight walls, size does matter—but not as much as it used to. […]
How to design a perfect cooling system for a mold
When it comes to injection molds, the importance of an efficient cooling system cannot be overemphasized. A reduction of just one or two seconds in cooling time can lead to as much as a 10- to 20-percent increase in the production rate. That alone could directly affect the profitability of the job. However, saving time [...]
Accurate measurement tools help the moldmaking industry
The moldmaking industry is often at the cutting edge of metalworking technology. Innovations in machine tool design, cutting tools and CNC programming are typically championed by moldmakers in their quest for increasingly precise tools. Highly accurate measurement tools are also becoming necessary for mold design and manufacturing, though the industry has been slower to adopt [...]
How to build an effective mold quotation system
With manufacturers putting increased pressure on their suppliers for cost savings and efficiencies, mold manufacturers are being challenged to produce consistent, accurate product cost quotes. These challenges include the need for: […]
