About Mold Building Basics

Image
  The foundation of the injection molding process is the mold itself. The most common style is the straight-pull mold. This mold has two halves, a core, and a cavity. The halves of the mold, usually made from steel or aluminum, are held together in the molding press by mechanical clamps or hydraulic pressure. Molten plastic then fills the cavity to create the desired part. After the plastic cools, the halves of the mold are pulled apart. The halves of the mold work like this: Core (B Side):  The core is usually the interior or non-cosmetic side of the part. The core side also contains the ejection mechanism that pushes the completed part out of the mold. Cavity (A Side):  The cavity is the void inside the mold that the molten plastic fills. Plastic enters the mold from the cavity side and forms the final shape of the part. The cavity side usually forms the cosmetic side of the part. Mold Base The mold core and mold cavity are each mounted onto the mold base, which is then...

Mold Design

  Mold Design Mold designs are complicated and getting it right is critical to the success of a project. We use a combination of experience and technology to plan the design and test the concept using CAD software. By using mold-flow simulation software, we can create a simulation of a part in a mold as the mold fills, packs and cools during the injection molding process . This means problems can be solved before the parts or mold are even produced. Not all customers or all molds require this step, but it’s available based on our recommendation or a customer’s request.
