3D Printing
In injection molding, the cooling time accounts for up to 70% of the injection molding cycle tiem. The main reason is that in traditional mold manufacturing, temperature control or cooling water channels can only be drilled in straight lines. Structural or assembly components must be avoided, so water channel design is extremely restricted. The use of 3D printing technology to make 3D conformal cooling water channels for molds can not only reduce the local temperature of the mold or reach a uniform temperature, but also allow the mold to be cooled more quickly, which will reduce the demoulding rate and molding cycle time. Moreover, problems such as residual stress and warping will not occur due to shortened time, and it has a cooling effect that is unmatched by traditional water channels.
