How to select your cutting tool for a complex mold
Moldmakers are always juggling the various complexities in a mold build. If the mold is relatively flat, the balls (tennis) are relatively easy to juggle. As the mold becomes more complex or deeper, the weight and size of the different balls changes (add a bowling ball and a ping pong ball). At the end of [...]
introduction to Polyamide Resins( Nylon, PA )
Nylons are generally tough and strong and boast high oil resistance and chemical resistance. They can be in stable use whether under high temperature or low temperature and hence possess excellent qualification for being used as engineering plastic. […]
A “different” type of mold is the Hybrid Mold
For years we have been hearing about the virtues of aluminum molds for injection parts, and First-rate mold company’s Mold Builders has built its fair share—mostly for special-purpose applications that did not require many actions. For smaller molds using specialty aluminum has its benefits; and, if cycle times are critical, you can justify the high [...]
Simulation technology helps mold design
In the injection molding world, everybody has an opinion about how molds should be gated – how many should be used; where should they be located; and, what size and shape should they be? Much of what is actually implemented into mold designs comes from experience, whether it is from the moldmaker, molder or material [...]
How to mold plastic parts at the low cost
“How can we mold more parts on the same equipment in less time and lower our costs?” is a standard question whose common answers include reduce cycle time and/or improve mold yield efficiency. Surface treatments have been part of this solution and in the last 10 years a new family of coatings—DLC (diamond like carbon)—has [...]
select mold material for plastic product
the material is selected for the part molding area according to the surface roughness of the plastic part and the expected number of injection cycles. […]
