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.

Mould flow simulation is usually conducted during the product design stage or the early stages of the tool design to eliminate many of the problems associated with commissioning an injection mould, before construction and major investment in the mould has even begun.

Cavity Pressure Control
Jobs with high volume and tight tolerances demand a level of capability that can only be achieved with cavity pressure containment and control. Cavity Pressure is the process variable that correlates most directly with part quality. Morgan Advanced Ceramics use this to monitor characteristics such as part weight, dimensions, flash, sinks, shorts and warp. When deviations are detected and contained, part quality to the customer can be assured. With cavity sensors, we have the ability to navigate without reference to the horizon. Conventional moulding is similar to a pilot flying in the clouds without even a compass.

Rapid Prototypes
The constant need to accelerate time to market is clearly recognised by Morgan Advanced Ceramics. More than ever, today’s businesses must be swift and agile. To ensure customers maintain their competitive position the company provides the most cost effective, reliable and dependable path to meet product development timeframes.

Rapid prototyping supports this enabling a fast-track path from concept to production samples. Utilising rapid tooling methods and CNC machining techniques, it is possible to produce CIM components from a 3D CAD model in a short time-scale with minimum investment. Suitable for low volumes to allow customers to see and feel production-like CIM components during their development stage prior to investing in high volume production tooling.

1) Machined – Suitable when very low volumes are required in the tens range. Components would be CNC machined from green blanks.

2) Rapid Prototypes – Referring to manufacturing a rapid prototype CIM tool. Capable of producing CIM components in small volumes, typically hundreds to low thousands range.

3) CIM – A full CIM production tool capable of producing repeatable parts in high volumes, from tens of thousands up to and beyond one million components.
