This book covers injection mold design and manufacturing. It emphasizes the application of designs and concepts in real manufacturing settings. Special attention is given to the repair and cost saving alterations often required to keep a mold in service. The chapter on computer assisted design features four color CAD drawings of different stages of design.
Contents: Materials for Injection Molds. Mold Making Techniques. Procedures for Estimating Mold Costs. The Injection Molding Process. Design of Runner Systems. Design of Gates. Venting of Molds. The Heat Exchange System. Shrinkage. Mechanical Design. Shifting of Cores. Ejection. Alignment of Molds-Changing of Molds. Computer Assisted Mold Design. Maintenance. Repair and Alteration. Standards. Temperature Controllers for Injection and Compression Molds. Steps for Correction of Molding Defects Caused by Improper Mold Design.

Riassunto
Economic success in the plastics processing industry depends on the quality, precision, and reliability of its most common tool: the injection mold. Consequently, misjudgments in design and mistakes in the manufacturing of molds can result in grave consequences.
This comprehensive handbook for the design and manufacture of injection molds covers all aspects of how to successfully make injection molds from a practical as well as from a theoretical point of view. It should serve as an indispensable reference work for everyone engaged in mold making.
"...an example of how books should be written ... will be used by molders, mold designers and mold makers and will become a standard." (Polymer News)
