Advancing Mold Performance Using Hot Runner Technology
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. […]
Molding defects
Injection molding is a complex technology with possible production problems. They can either be caused by defects in the molds or more often by part processing (molding) […]
The general rule of mold Design
The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector mold (B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold, the sprue bushing is to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection barrel of the molding machine and to allow molten plastic to flow [...]
Different types of Injection Molding Processes
Although most injection molding processes are covered by the conventional process description above, there are several important molding variations including: […]
Design Considerations for the Process
It is important when designing products for injection molding that you consider how they will be formed in the machine, how they will be taken out of the machine, and the structure of the final product. Some important guidelines are: […]
Data and Resources In Plastic Injection Mould Making
Plastic injection mould manufacture is a highly competitive operation. Today’s products have shorter lifecycles. Reducing the mould design and manufacturing lead-time while maintaining high mould quality is thus a challenge to the plastic injection mould making industry in or to remain competitive. […]
Tools paramount to the success of the CIM process
Mould Flow Analysis, Mould flow simulation allows optimisation of the part and mould design by adjusting areas such as gate positions, wall thickness and cooling parameters to help achieve success. […]
The benefits of Ceramic Injection Moulding
Provides unique, economic solutions to increasingly stringent material and product design requirements […]
Why Should Ceramic Injection Moulding be Considered
The continuous strides forward in science and technology lead to ever increasing demands on materials. Ceramics have significant advantages characterised by their outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and/or electrical properties. […]
What is Ceramic Injection Moulding (CIM)?
The CIM process begins with very fine ceramic powders. Using sophisticated mixing technology the powders are compounded with thermoplastic binders to produce a homogeneous pelletised feedstock. […]
