A Thermomechanical Analysis of Conformal Cooling Channels in 3D Printed Plastic Injection Molds
Plastic injection molding is a versatile process, and a major part of the present plastic manufacturing industry. The traditional die design is limited to straight (drilled) cooling channels, which don’t impart optimal thermal (or thermomechanical) performance. With the advent of additive...
