In plastic injection molding, the "gate size design" directly affects the product's flowability, cooling efficiency, and quality stability. This article will analyze how gate size influences volumetric flow rate and shear rate, and will provide examples and calculations.

In the field of plastic injection molding technology, injection threading is one of the indispensable and challenging processes. From the most common PET bottle caps in our daily lives to water pipe fittings for industrial applications, and even various precision plastics...

At this stage, we need to estimate the "mold manufacturing costs," "plastic material usage per mold," and "production capacity." We make these estimates through two steps: "parting line design" and "cavity layout."

The first step in evaluating a product's mold is selecting the gating system. The gating type will determine the subsequent mold type, layout, runner design, and mold opening method, among other things. What is gating? Gating refers to...

As a mold engineer, when receiving a product, one should have certain methods for mold creation assessment. Therefore, it's necessary to be able to calculate the size of the machine used or determine the mold size to design, and production must be confirmed first.
