Spiral and conformal cooling in plastic injection molding
Designing cooling channels for the thermoplastic injection process is a very important step in mold design. A conformal cooling channel can significantly improve the efficiency and the quality of production in plastic injection molding. This paper introduces an approach to generate spiral channels for conformal cooling. The cooling channels designed by our algorithms has very simple connectivit...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation-Based Optimization of Cooling Channels for Plastic Injection Mold
Injection molding has been the most popular method for making plastic products due to high efficiency and manufacturability. The injection molding process includes three significant stages: filling and packing stage, cooling stage, and ejection stage. Among these stages, cooling stage is very important one because it mainly affects the productivity and molding quality. Normally, 70%~80% of the ...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Rapid and low-cost prototyping of medical devices using 3D printed molds for liquid injection molding.
Biologically inert elastomers such as silicone are favorable materials for medical device fabrication, but forming and curing these elastomers using traditional liquid injection molding processes can be an expensive process due to tooling and equipment costs. As a result, it has traditionally been impractical to use liquid injection molding for low-cost, rapid prototyping applications. We have ...
