Feature article: Conformal-cooled mould tools - how to cut cycle times and boost part quality (pdf)

Injection moulding allows plastic products to be produced in complex and intricate detail, often in sizable batches, with repeatable tolerances and high surface quality. For mould-makers, this means providing their customers with tools that can produce parts that perfectly replicate the 3D design in the minimum cycle time. Cooling of the plastic part as it solidifies within the mould tool is a critical factor, affecting both the cycle time and the quality of the part.
