The paper presents a new procedure for the automated calculation of cycle time in the injection molding process based on the recognition of the geometry of the plastic part to be manufactured, taking as input data only the geometry of the plastic part in discrete format and the material in ...
Injection molding cycle time directly influences plastic part cost and capacities, so keeping it as low as possible is the overarching goal of engineers and project managers. When getting quotes from various injection molders for plastic parts, they may be confronted with divergent cycle time ...
Injection molding is a cyclical process wherein melted polymer is forced into a cold metal mold under high pressure and cooled until it is solid enough to be ejected from the mold. Cooling is a crucial part of the injection molding cycle because it has a major impact on both the quality o...

Injection Molding Calculator – Mold Material Plastic injection molds are usually made of steel or aluminum. Aluminum has several benefits over steel. Aluminum is typically cheaper than steel and can better dissipate heat, which will lower cycle time and help increase efficiency. While Aluminum may ...
This time can be estimated from the dry cycle time of the machine. Injection - The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the injection molding machine, and advanced towards the mold by the injection unit. During this process, the material is melted by heat ...
The method of the present invention relates to reducing cycle time in injection molding machines that are running large capacity molds, such as multiple cavity preform molds, and require a high volume supply of quality melt. Specifically, the present invention proposes using a continually plasticizing...
A cycle control for plastic injection molding machines. All time- responsive machine controls are eliminated by initiating or terminating machine functions in response to actual, physical properties experienced by the machine or by the plastic or in the mold, rather than in response to elapsed-time...
So, your main design efforts should focus on minimizing both the volume part and the time of the molding cycle. Here we collected some tips to help you minimize the cost of your Injection molded project.Tip #1: Stick to the straight-pull mold Side-action cores and the other in-mold ...
