Published Article === The paper presents a critical review of the techniques that are used to cool plastic injection moulds. It examines research on cooling of injection moulds by conventional cooling, the benefits and the limitations of the method.

The paper also presents the possibilities that have been presented by rapid prototyping. It discusses the development of conformal cooling as an alternative to conventional cooling.
