Plastic Injection Molding Volume 3 – Mold Design and Construction Fundamentals
Plastic Injection Molding Volume 3 – Mold Design and Construction Fundamentals is the third in a series providing basic information, concepts, and ideas to those interested in, or already existing in, the world of injection molding of thermoplastics (Volume I covers manufacturing process fundamentals and Volume II explains material selection and product design fundamentals). This volume covers the subject of fundamental mold design and construction. My intention was to write this book (and the others in the series) in such a way that both new-comers and old-timers would be able to obtain information that is otherwise not readily available.
Designing and building injection molds should not be an expensive trial and error process. Achieve effective mold construction the right way by referring to this third installment in the bestselling series. This book guides readers in eliminating guesswork with critical mold design such as gate location, shape and size. And you’ll even discover how to establish proper venting so you can be assured good parts will result before the first shot is made. In its easy-to-read format, this book is enriched with over one hundred well-detailed diagrams to help reinforce the concepts being presented.
