Livonia, Mich.-based mold maker Linear Mold and Engineering Inc. uses three-dimensional printers from EOS GmbH to create mold inserts with conformal cooling lines for injection molds. Conformal ...

Conformal cooling channels have emerged as a transformative enhancement to the injection moulding process. Unlike traditional straight-drilled channels, these channels are designed to closely follow ...

These five basic design requirements have to fit around the part design in the same space. If one requirement has more flexibility, it leaves greater options in the other areas. For example, the use ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. On the left is an example of a 3D-printed metal mold printed with conformal cooling channels. At right are ...

Elk Grove Village, Ill. — Conformal cooling — molds built with cooling channels that curve to follow the shape of the part — can make injection molded parts with better quality, less molded-in stress ...
