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 …

Firstly, this work investigates a new design of a conformal cooling channel for injection
molding tools containing serial and parallel circuits. Secondly, a hybrid-manufacturing …

The manufacturing of conformal cooling channels (CCC's) is now easier and more
affordable, owing to the recent developments in the field of additive manufacturing. The use …

This paper presents a new method for the automated design of the conformal cooling system
for injection molding technology based on a discrete multidimensional model of the plastic …

Tree flow networks play an important role in both natural and man-made systems. In an effort
to develop a deeper understanding of the optimal design of these networks, we have …

Limited by the characteristics of drilling, the traditional straight cooling channel is difficult to
provide the best cooling effect for the mold. The conformal cooling channel is more and …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is now common in production of metallic matrixes with/without
reinforcements (nanoprecipitates) to improve functional and structural mechanical properties …

The application of Constructal theory to the flow design in engineering applications connects
the channels' architecture with their freedom to morph. Assessing the evolution of the flow …

The focus of this research is on thermal contact resistance between a mold and its insert,
specifically inserts made by additive manufacturing (AM). Using a thermal steady-state …
