Heating technology is an indispensable part of modern industry and daily life. Whether it's the temperature control design of heating fume extraction devices or the steaming and drying processes in the manufacturing of instant foods like instant noodles, precision and efficiency are essential.

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...

In plastic injection molding, if a side-entry gate type is used, a post-processing step of shearing the gate is necessary to separate the finished product from the runner. There are many ways to shear the gate, the most basic being manual breaking.

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.

Short shot is a defective phenomenon in injection molding where molten plastic fails to fill all the spaces in the mold when injected, resulting in partial or complete incomplete product formation. There are many reasons for short shots, including...
