The design of conformal cooling channels in injection molding tooling
Polymer Engineering & Science, 2001AbstractSolid Freeform Fabrication technologies have demonstrated the potential to produce tooling with cooling channels, which are conformal to the molding cavity. 3D Printed tools with conformal cooling channels have demonstrated simultaneous improvements in production rate and part quality as compared with conventional production tools.

Analysis and Manufacturing of Conformal Cooling Channels in Injection Mold
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014In view of the cooling difficulty in complex injection mold, the difference between conventional cooling channels and Conformal Cooling Channels (CCC) is researched. CCC is superior to conventional cooling channels on cooling effect according to the simulation analysis of plastic flow based on Autodesk Moldflow Insight software.

Design of Conformal Cooling/Heating Channels for Layered Tooling
2008 International Conference on Smart Manufacturing Application, 2008One of the advantages of Rapid tooling (RT) methods is flexibility in building conformal cooling/heating channels within a mold for enhanced thermal control, but tool size is currently limited. But Profiled Edge Laminae (PEL) method, which is a thick-layer laminated RT method intended for large-scale tooling applications, could allow more challengeable

Design and optimisation of conformal cooling channels in injection moulding tools
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2005Abstract With increasingly short life span on consumer electronic products such as mobile phones becoming more fashionable, injection moulding remains the most popular method for producing the associated plastic parts. The process requires a molten polymer being injected into a cavity inside a mould, which is cooed and the part ejected.

Investigation of the Functional Characteristics of Injection Molds with Conformal Cooling Channels
Transactions of the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers - A, 2020사출 성형은 플라스틱 제품 제조에 널리 사용되는 제조 공정으로 고온으로 용융된 수지가 금형을 채워 제품을 성형한다. 성형 이후에는 금형에 냉각수를 순환시켜 냉각시키는 냉각 공정이 수반되는데 통상적으로 직선형으로 냉각 회로가 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 케이스형 제품 성형을 위한 세 가지 형상적응형 냉각 회로를 설계하고 수치 해석을 통해 냉각 성능을 분석하여 기존의 회로와 비교하였다. 또한 사출성형품 후변형 해석을 실시하여 형상 적응형 냉각 회로로 인한 온도 균일화가 제품의 치수 안정성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

Transient Analysis of an Injection Mould with Conformal Cooling Channels
2019Injection moulding is a manufacturing process to create plastic parts and it consists of four major processes injection, packing, cooling and ejection. Cooling process takes almost half of the whole cycle time in injection moulding. Injection moulds were cooled by creating straight drilled channel in mould but that channel does not provide uniform and ...
