The injection mold is an extremely important element of any plastic injection molding operation. Molds determine the shape of the part, vent trapped air or gases during injection, act as heat exchangers to solidify the molten plastic, and eject the cooled parts.
Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program highlights the primary injection mold components and features segments on injection mold types, the use of computer simulation to develop molds, mold prototyping techniques, and mold maintenance & repair.
