Before you can produce a series of plastic products with injection molding, you need to design and create a proper mold. In this video, you’ll learn the fundamentals of mold design. We’ll look at how molds are created, how they work and the different kinds of molds there are and how each type suits your production needs.

Interesting, however you fail to mention the most important item- Plastic molding is a thermal process, the design of the mould most ensure that heat is removed from the plastic in the most efficient manner. Only 4 things which must be considered in sequence- Get the material in, get the air out, get the heat out, get the part out. Good luck

Do they pull full vacuum before injecting the plastic or do you just leave a few thousand air gap around the 2 mould halves to allow the trapped air to escape?

In the setting I work in, this is known as “venting.” There are little valleys/grooves in the face of the tooling that allow this air to escape. A dirty mold can create venting issues leading to part defects possibly.

Depending on the plastic used there are many cooling solutions. I make automotive molds, and every single one is water cooled.

@@dreeunderwood2304 Oh boy do I love cutting little microscopic vents into the parting line by hand. It's the most fun ever :P

Good video to illustrate how mold is designed and manufactured. About the injection mold life span, maybe you could get it more detailed, such as with different plastic material, what steel is more suitable to achieve certain life shots. Thanks for sharing.

What would be the cost of average moulding for semi automatic verticle moulding

But how did they do before CNC? How did they make intricate and detailed moulds like airplane model kits?

@bstevermer9293 7 ай бұрын

They would have a clay copy and a stylus that would trace the clay and the other end would cut the metal.

why are aluminium moulds more expensive when steel is a cheaper material (most grades)

@Marlfox570 3 ай бұрын

Steel molds are more expensive even though the material is cheaper because machining steel takes much longer than machining aluminum. Depending on the machine used to cut the mold and the mold design it can take 2-5+ times longer to machine steel than aluminum. There is also more programming time of the CNC machine needed because you have to be more careful with breaking cutters. So shops charge more for the labor and the machine time for steel molds.
