The International Question in mold project
Many projects require an integrated manufacturing solution, which means molded parts and molds may be moved to a contract manufacturer after initial pilot production, and that could be anywhere in the world. […]
The relationship of Product and Mold Analysis
Compare Part for ChangesWhen the design model changes, you need to know what changed. Look for tools that make it easy to detect what is different in a part; […]
The relationship of Product and Mold Design
Power to Handle Complex GeometryFor the software to be usable for plastic part design, it must be powerful enough to handle the complex geometry. The system must possess round, draft and complex surfacing capabilities. […]
CAD System Support Design and Validation In One Window
Whether designing the mold for an iPod or a refrigerator door, moldmakers are always looking for faster methods to help them produce molds. […]
A Special Solution in mold design
In recent years a new generation of specialized mold design CAD systems has begun to appear. By automating the tedious parts of the mold design process, […]
A Complex Challenge in mold design
When plastics were first gaining popularity, parts were simple. Most products were designed on a drawing board, so it was natural that the tooling was designed that way as well. […]
How to Incorporate Dual-Rod Technology
an ejector housing cross-section must be designed with the desired plate thickness and necessary ejector stroke. By increasing the lifter core angle, a mold designer can achieve faster part ejection and a larger undercut feature. […]
What is Dual-Rod Lifter Systems?
Use of a second guide rod parallel to the lifter core is a relatively new and under-utilized method. […]
What is Single-Rod Lifter Systems?
When designing mold cores for undercuts and side-action molding, the designer has several lifter system options. […]
