Moldflow develops plastic injection molding software.
The gate is the channel through which the molten polymer flows from the runner into the cavity. Generally, the gate is small and solidifies first.
Industry:Software
The hopper is the moulding machine container that holds the polymer and feeds it to the injection moulding screw.
Industry:Software
The injection location is the place where the molten plastic is forced into the mould cavity. Different injection locations can have different effects on the appearance and quality of the part.
Industry:Software
The injection pressure is the pressure that is applied to the ram during the injection phase, causing the material to flow, and can be measured approximately by a transducer located in the nozzle. There is a direct relationship between the injection pressure and the hydraulic line pressure called the machine intensification ratio.
Industry:Software
The injection velocity is the speed at which polymer is injected into the mould cavity during the injection phase. If the injection velocity is too high, it can cause part defects such as flash and delamination.
Industry:Software
The injection volume is the amount of polymer injected into the mould cavity during the velocity phase.
Industry:Software
The melt temperature is the temperature of the polymer as it starts to flow into die.
Industry:Software
The mould is the steel tool used on the injection moulding machine. The mould acts as a heat exchanger in which the molten thermoplastic solidifies to the shape defined by the cavity.
