PROBLEM DEFINITION

Abstract

Designer's of plastic injection Molds need to study from this point of view, the type of Mold to be designed, the physical Mold orientation, the dimensions for each of the element in the Mold, the location of the gate, runner, requirement of insert, draft angle requirement, shrinkage factor, location of cooling channels. Design can also be simplified by using standardized parts of the mold such as ejector pins. By eliminating the obstruction to smooth flow of plastic a good of quality component can be achieved. Mold Design forms the basis of the development work required for producing the desired number of units in a given time frame, with proper mold design a customer can achieve adequate cycle times, part strength and required level of surface finish. Multi-cavity molds can help produce the components in mass quantities in a short duration.
