Part Design: Best Practices For Plastic Injection Molding
High quality, efficient tooling relies heavily on good part design as well as advanced skills in mold design and the manufacturing of the tool. An injection mold is a highly precision tool that must be rugged enough to withstand hundreds of thousands of high pressure molding cycles.
Leveraging Mold Flow Analysis for Injection Molded Parts
When using Injection Molding as a process to manufacture your part, many aspects impact whether or not your injection molded part can actually be produced
Poor steel condition can cause delays.
We find that poor steel condition is a design issue that’s not often thought of in injection molding. Custom part complexities can stress steel that is not rigid enough to hold its form causing breaks.
