Plastic Injection Tool Design
The design of the injection mold requires not only careful consideration regarding the properties of the materials used, but the capabilities of the molding machine must also be taken into account.
Blow Mould Tool Design
All considerations of the blow molding process are examined including:
• materials used for the part and mold
• required shape
• attributes of the part
• properties of the molding machine
• materials used for the part and mold
• required shape
• attributes of the part
• properties of the molding machine
Vacuum Forming Tool Design
Tooling for vacuum formed projects can be produced in a variety of materials including:
• composite, • epoxy, and • machined aluminum. |
Special consideration is given to part design, part draft, and application when designing tooling. This ensures the parts are easily moldable and economical.
|
Composite Tool Design
When working with composite tool designs,
many key design considerations are examined such as: • material selection, • fabrication method, • structural considerations, • part draft, and runoff. |
With complex multi-draft designs, undercuts can be handled by adding removable pieces
for easy release of parts from the mold. Vacuum channels and angled runoff faces can be added to aid the fabrication process. |
Cast Aluminum Tool Design
Methods for producing tools for aluminum casting include gravity and low pressure tooling.
|
When working with more complex shapes, tools can be produced with undercuts and removable cores.
Material volumes and weights can be calculated and factored into the design if cost and final part weight are a concern. |
