High Temperature Adiabatic Heating in µ-IM Mould Cavities—A Case for Venting Design Solutions

Micro-injection moulding (µ-IM) is a fabrication method that is used to produce miniature parts on a mass production scale. This work investigates how the process parameter settings result in adiabatic heating from gas trapped and rapidly compressed within the mould cavity. The heating of the reside...
