What will we consider when purchasing EDM?
There are numerous factors to consider when purchasing a warranty program with your new EDM, let’s examine three important ones. […]
Electric Valve Gates will help mold maker
Hot runner valve gating is a technology that has been available for many years; however, until recently, there have only been two options for pin actuation: hydraulic or pneumatic. Both types of valve pin actuators come with their own advantages and disadvantages making the decision a matter of personal preference. […]
CAM software helps to lengthen tool life
CAM software, as it relates to tool life, does two things: it controls the tool motion and the entry and exit of the workpiece material. The traditional way of driving machines using older algorithms have been superseded by newer tool motion using advanced algorithms—a technique that removes large amounts of material quickly using a dynamic [...]
What does an Aluminum Tooling do for mold maker?
Three terms define the business-success paradigm for today’s mold manufacturers and injection molders—particularly those who serve the automotive industry: quality, cycle time and cost. […]
The Right Mold Cleaners are very important for your mold
Mold cleaning is required offline when the mold is on the bench and cold (room temperature); and, online when the mold is in the press and warm. Because of temperature differences, the cleaning solvents may have different degrees of effectiveness. Solvents that work well on the bench and evaporate at a convenient rate are usually [...]
Room temperature vulcanization mold save time and money
Here we will discuss an approach for creating functional, high quality, 3-D elastomeric (rubber) parts for your product prototypes faster and easier than previously possible. This solution uses the capabilities of a 3-D printer, RTV (room temperature vulcanization) molding and casting, and a new CAD file manipulation tool that cuts hours to days out of [...]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding–saving plastic materials
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding—saving plastic materials, since gas in the cavity occupies part of the volume, the product shall become thinner and lighter, generally by 20%--40%.
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding–short production cycle
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding–short production cycle. Owing to the small injection volume of gas-assisted injection molding, […]
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding–can be used to mold products with diverse wall-thickness
the merit of the Gas-assisted injection molding--can be used to mold products with diverse wall-thickness. using gas-assisted injection molding can achieve uniform filling for products with diverse wall-thickness and, on the premises
