The biggest challenge in injection molding is the process of designing a mold. There are almost no limits to your creativity , but you can do the designs in clever and less clever way from a manufacturing point of view. Plastic manufacturers highlight this aspect as the most crucial part of injection molding. There will [...]
As a professional engineer, he(she) really knew how to choose the right materials to build a strong house. The right plastics make your products light-weight, easier to use and yet possess increased structural strength. If we use engineering grade materials in our products, Plastic parts can be stronger than metal parts. In structural design of your [...]
Yesterday, we share some informations about the snap latches designed onto some plastic parts, today we want to share some experience about the design of the snap latches. […]
maybe you have some products at hand, they consist of some plastic parts, I think you might be interested in how to assembly and disassembly, when we put them together, it snaps into a groove or a slot in the mating part, […]
maybe there are some plastic products or products with plastic parts at hand, when looking carefully, you can find some of them have textures or lettering on their inner or external surface. […]
When we decide to make textures and lettering on the plastic parts, depth and draft should be considered, draft for texturing is somewhat dependant on the mold design and the specific mold texture. […]
Today I check some mold designs from some Young mold designers, I find a common and Easily neglected problem—they often forget to add drafts in some areas, maybe they don’t realize it’s importance, […]
Today morning, I have a meeting with our mold designers about the mold design solution for a new product, we discuss too much design details, I want to pick out some of them to share with every one: […]
As an experienced industrial designer, especially for a mold designer, when he or she designs a plastic part, the wall thickness need to be considered carefully,On the premise of meeting the requirements of product use function and injection molding, the designers should know how to design a minimum wall thickness, because during injection molding process, [...]
as an experienced mold engineer, I know that it is not easy to design a perfect plastic product, many aspects need to be considered, so when we select a CAD/CAM software for plastic product design and mold manufacture, […]
