Everyday mold builders face various challenges as they tackle each new mold project that enters the shop. Whether it involves engineering, building, maintaining, or repairing molds, this industry’s dedicated technology suppliers offer solutions. Here are some insights and instructions to help your team through four specific challenges. 1） How to Reduce Risk in Plastic Part [...]
Nowhere is the connection between production and creativity more evident than in reverse engineering, which challenges manufacturers to find new ways to recreate or improve upon existing products instead of starting from square one. Data Collection and System Interoperability Increasingly sophisticated engineering and production tools have propelled the development of equally complex products that are [...]
Manufacturability Design and Engineering (DFM) – A team of custom molds and design engineers can work with your team to provide first-class component design support. […]
Concurrent engineering can significantly reduce mold design time while completing multiple design tasks. For example, one designer may work on the cavity side while the other works on the core side, […]
shallow side concave of plastic parts requires small core-pulling distance, yet when the molding area of side concave is large, a large core-pulling force is thereby needed, therefore, tilted lifter mechanism can be adopted for side parting and core-pulling. […]
a detail for designing tilted lifter mechanism need to be known, for inner side core-pulling, top of the tilted slide should be 0.05—0.1mm lower than the end plate if core, since during the protruding, […]
a suitable dip angle for designing a tilted lifter mechanism is very important, I think the pin’s dip angle B should be taken 5—25 degree ， […]
I have a tip for designing a tilted lifter mechanism, to endow the mechanism with restoration function, the length of circular bead for restoration should be adopted preferably larger under possible conditions, […]
therefore, shrinkage plays a more important part in the dimension of plastic parts when molding large parts, whereas when molding small parts, […]
abrasion loss during use. The abrasion and restoration during production can lessen the dimension of cores and enlarge the dimension of cavities.
