Conformal cooling (CC) channels are a series of cooling channels that are equidistant from
the mold cavity surfaces. CC systems show great promise to substitute conventional straight …

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 …

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 …

Polymer based composites as thermal management materials have become one of the most
