Injection molding process, Basic Step 1: Design product
design is the most important aspect of the production process, because it was the first opportunity, in order to prevent costly mistakes. (Of course, make sure you have a good idea in the first time is also important, but more here). There are many goals design: function, aesthetics, manufacturability and assembly. The right design is required to achieve the target to a satisfactory level, but it may require a lot of creativity. Product design usually through computer-aided design (CAD) software, like SolidWorks. Proficient in CAD software is essential because it allows for more accurate and rapid iteration of the prototype necessary.
Some specific ways to avoid costly mistakes in the product design process as much as possible uniform wall thickness program and a gradual transition from one to another when the thickness variation in thickness is not avoidable. It is also important to avoid pressure building design, such as angle of 90 degrees or less.
A skilled team of design engineers will be able to brainstorm, design and improve a variety of solutions to meet specific complexity of a specific project. Experience design team to create elegant solutions to complex problems in a creative mechanism sum decades. See previous and current clients say our product design capabilities. We think you'll be impressed.
Injection molding process, substantially Step 2: Mold Design
After look like and feel design has been tested and will be further produced, a mold (or die) as the design and manufacture of injection molds. From these types of mold is often:
hardened steel: usually the most expensive material can be reduced price mold, and generally the longest duration (unit). This makes a good choice of materials hardened steel products in the multiple hundreds.
Pre-hardened steel: do not cycle as much as possible on hardened steel, and create cheaper.
Aluminum: The most commonly used single chamber "prototype Tools" when a relatively low number of parts required for testing. Injection molded parts tested and approved once this tool, and then produce a multi-cavity tool steel production. It can be obtained from thousands of a tool part of aluminum but is usually used in a low number.
Beryllium copper: Commonly used mold area, the exhaust heat or need to quickly set the local shear heat.
As the overall product design, mold design another chance to prevent defects in the injection molding process. Here are some examples of how a costly errors:
inadequate design draft: This refers to the angle of the finished product is expelled from the mold. Deprivation can cause problems draft stripping, spend a lot of time and money.
Gates improper placement or size: Gates the mold, through which injection openings a thermosetting or thermoplastic material. Each will leave marks (scars), you can create aesthetic or functional problems if not properly placed.
(Period) the number of parts required, and the material they will help drive decisions on how and what materials to create a mold.
Injection molding process, three basic steps: the production process
when a product is properly designed, molded and approval, time to start the actual production of the injection molding process which is the basis ...!
Thermoset or thermoplastic material is fed through a hopper into the heating barrel in the form of particles . The plastic is heated to a predetermined temperature, through the gate by a large screw (s) and the mold. Once the mold has a predetermined period, the screw will remain in place to apply an appropriate pressure of the cooling time. To reach this point, screw exit, mold open, expulsion. Gates will cut automatically or manually remove this cycle will be repeated over and over again, can be used to create hundreds of thousands of parts in a relatively short period of time.
