In injection mold design, material selection for side cores is critical. Side cores undergo frequent movement and direct contact with plastic parts, requiring materials that meet strength and wear resistance demands, while also providing good machinability and high-temperature performance.

Gas-Assisted Injection Molding (GAIM) differs significantly from traditional injection molding in terms of technology and advantages.

Insert molding is an injection molding process that combines metal, plastic, or other materials inserts (such as screws, metal plates, electrical components, etc.) with plastic to form a single part. This process results in the insert being integrally molded with the plastic matrix, providing stronger bonding and significant advantages in material savings and production time.

Inserts serve multiple purposes in plastic mold processing and are an essential means of optimizing mold design and production.

The design of the cooling system in injection molds is a critical step in ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency. The cooling system must be optimized based on the mold structure, product characteristics, and production requirements.

Porous mold steel is a type of mold steel with a unique micro-porous structure that allows gases to pass through while preventing molten plastic from leaking. It is widely used in injection molding processes where effective venting is required.

Glass fiber-reinforced materials (GFRPs), known for their high strength, low density, and excellent heat resistance, are widely used in industrial manufacturing. However, compared to standard plastics, GFRPs have unique characteristics in the injection molding process, imposing higher demands on mold design.

POM (Polyoxymethylene) materials offer many unique advantages in plastic gear manufacturing, making POM an ideal choice for producing high-precision, high-performance plastic gears.

Three-plate injection molds are highly valued in the production of complex parts due to their flexible gating system design, precise ejection mechanisms, and excellent adaptability to intricate geometries.

Shrinkages are a common quality issue in plastic injection molding. To minimize these errors, optimizations can be made in material selection, mold design, process parameter adjustments, and post-processing.
