Let me say first that stopping and pulling molds for scheduled PMs is a good maintenance practice … period … but unfortunately not always possible in every situation if you want to keep your customers happy and in parts. What? A mold maintenance evangelist saying that regularly scheduled PMs won’t make us more money by [...]
After filling you must pressurize the mold to get a good imprint of the cavity to minimize the effects of cooling. Short shots, sinks, voids and dimensional variations in parts are caused because of insufficient packing pressure in the mold cavities. […]
The term digital manufacturing is starting to gain avid use in the industry; however, definitions vary. According to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, […]
Traditional manufacturing processes require at least an eight- to 10-week leadtime. An organization will design the projects and send it to a molder/moldmaker, […]
Whether toolmakers can gain the same benefits from five-axis inspection as the manufacturers of complex aerospace and automotive parts will depend on the size and complexity of their molds. Manufacturers of very large or, more specifically, […]
The old fashioned way but still being used by some mold manufacturers. Designing a mold cavity and core in 2D. Some mold designers may use different procedure. […]
For areas in the mold where it is not possible to use normal drilled cooling channels, alternative methods must be employed to ensure these areas are uniformly cooled with the rest of the part. […]
First-rate mold solution company provides service for offshore outsourcing, but that kind of service has advantage and disadvantage, today, we want to explain a disadvantage of offshore outsouring in the following: […]
A quality hot runner system is one of the more important enhancements you can incorporate into a mold to improve molded part quality, reduce production times and remain price competitive. […]
