Study on the Optimization of Conformal Cooling Channels for Plastic Injection Mold

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cooling process of injection molding is a complicated process related to thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, and it has a direct impact on quality and productivity of injection molded parts. With increasing requirements on high quality of injection molded parts, the research on the design of conformal cooling channels of injection mould gradually becomes a popular subject. The paper introduced the process of heat transfer for plastic injection mold with conformal cooling channels and its feature; analysed the optimization of conformal cooling channels; A new set of design methodology and rules is developed.
