Injection Molding Part Design Guidelines
Plastic Injection Molding Part Design Guidelines UpMold has provided these plastic part design guidelines because we strive to produce your molds and parts perfectly according to your designs. In order to assure that your parts are moldable, please examine the basic guidelines laid out on this page and follow these basic design steps when designing your plastic parts. Injection Mold Wall Thickness by Resin Material Guidelines The proper material selection and observing uniform wall thickness in injection molded plastic [...]
Injection Mold Cooling Design
Injection Mold Cooling Design In thermoplastic injection molding, part quality and cycle time depend strongly on the cooling stage. in this case we study some alternative cooling devices for the injection mold cooling design for core, The expected result is an improvement of the part quality in terms of shrinkage and warpage. Baffle, bubbler and thermal pin Baffles and bubblers are sections of cooling lines that divert the coolant flow into [...]
SPI Surface Finish Standards
SPI Surface Finish Standards The SPI is that Society of the Plastics Industry sets standard for plastics industry in the United States that identifies the cosmetic quality of plastics, Upmold uses the SPI standard to define finish of plastic injection molded parts. There are twelve grades of finishes specified by the SPI in four categories that range from shiny to dull. Each grade has different requirements for allowable deviation from perfect, with lower numbers allowing for less deviation and [...]
