Analysis and Manufacturing of Conformal Cooling Channels in Injection Mold

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of the cooling difficulty in complex injection mold, the difference between conventional cooling channels and Conformal Cooling Channels (CCC) is researched. CCC is superior to conventional cooling channels on cooling effect according to the simulation analysis of plastic flow based on Autodesk Moldflow Insight software. Considered the manufacturing difficulty of CCC, an approach which uses three-dimensional printing and investment casting is put forward in the end.
