Injection molding is an efficient manufacturing process for mass-producing parts with
complicated geometry, consistent quality, and attractive appearance. With the increasing …

Conformal cooling channels (CCCs) are employed to improve the cooling rate due to the
equal distance from the mold surface. CCCs play a key role in mold injection productivity by …

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) can enable
the construction of injection moulding (IM) tools with conformal cooling channels that …

In injection molding, cooling channels are usually manufactured with a straight shape, and
thus have low cooling efficiency for a curved mold. Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) …

Conformal cooling channels (CCCs) are widely used in the plastic injection molding process
to improve the product quality and operational performance. Tooling that incorporates CCCs …

The recent developments in the additive manufacturing make easier and affordable the
fabrication of conformal cooling channels (CCCs) compared with the traditional machining …

Additively manufactured (AM) conformal cooling channels are currently the state of the art for
high performing tooling with reduced cycle times. This paper introduces the concept of …

Injection molding is a popular method that is used to make plastic product due to high
productivity, efficiency and manufacturability. This paper presents the development of a …

Rapid tooling (RT) and additive manufacturing (AM) are currently being used in several
parts of industry, particularly in the development of new products. The demand for timely …

Mold heating is an essential process in plastic injection molding. Raising the temperature of
the mold before injecting liquefied plastic can ease the mold-filling process. A cooling …
