Making Your Product Ideas a Reality
One of our strengths lies in the ability to help our customers transform their needs, ideas and requirements into first rate manufacturing solutions.
Tooling engineers also need to calculate gate/runner sizing specifications for proper filling and minimal cycle times, as well as determining the best shut-off methods for tooling durability over the life of the program. During the injection molding process molten plastic flows through channels called “runners” into the mold cavity. The direction of flow is controlled by the “gate” at the end of each channel. The system of runners and gates must be carefully designed to assure even distribution of plastic and subsequent cooling.
more complex injection-molded products require more complex molds. These often must deal with features such as undercuts or threads, which typically require more mold components. There are other components that can be added to a mold to form complex geometry; rotating devices
Preliminary 2D and 3D design models are constructed to determine mold sides and steel sizes. Once these are reviewed and approved, the detailed design is finalized by our designing team.
A molding process is established that is acceptable to the manufacturing department. Processing parameters are recommended and established. Initial sampling The engineer may review all the process and test the sample before the production
