Moldflow Design Principles – Part 2
This blog is a continuation of Part1 blog which I did recently. Please watch that before this video blog for better understanding.
Moldflow Design Principles – Part 1
Published by Moldflow in 1990’s on how to position gates in a part with certain known principles. This blog takes you through design principles step by step.
Part Weight & Cost Calculation – Imperial Units (USA)
This blog is same as the previous blog, only change is the units. You will learn how to calculate part weight in imperial units and cost calculation in USA.
Part Weight & Cost calculation – Metric Units (outside usa)
In this blog, you can see an example of part weight and cost calculation, also by hand calculation. A simple example for basic understanding is chosen.
Warpage
This blog is a continuation of the shrinkage blog and warpage is a result of non-uniform shrinkage. You will learn the factors for warpage in this blog.
Shrinkage
In this blog, you can learn shrinkage in polymers and PVT diagram for amorphous and crystalline material.
New Calculators
Recently we have added new shot size, plasticizing calculators and updated residence time calculators for accuracy. Please check it out!
New Polymer Abbreviation
Recently we have added polymer and filler abbreviation page. Please check out “Poly Abb+” page and take a test drive. Hope you will like it!
Injection rate
In this blog we discuss injection rate setup in an injection molding machine. Velocity profile and packaging machines are shown as an example.
# of cavities?
This is the questions asked by molder, OEM or mold designer when starting a project. The answer depends on multiple situations and this blog takes you different scenarios to consider.
Advanced Valve Gate- HRSFLOW’s FLEXflow EVO
This blog introduces FLEXflow EVO family of hot runners from HRSflow hot runner company. We are discussing two products within the FLEXflow family of servo controlled valves and their advantages.
Barrel Heats
Here in this blog, we discuss barrel heats and how to set for correct temperatures. Different heat profiles are discussed.
Screw Positions
This blog discusses the screw position in an injection molding process. During the entire injection molding cycle, the screw position varies and this blog takes you step by step.
Intensification Ratio
Here is the blog on Intensification ratio calculation. This is only used for injection molding hydraulic machines and blog takes you step by step approach. Don’t be puzzled anymore!
