Injection Molding: Mold Design & Making

Before you can produce a series of plastic products with injection molding, you need to design and create a proper mold. In this video, you’ll learn the fundamentals of mold design. We’ll look at how molds are created, how they work and the different kinds of molds there are and how each type suits your production needs.

Interesting, however you fail to mention the most important item- Plastic molding is a thermal process, the design of the mould most ensure that heat is removed from the plastic in the most efficient manner. Only 4 things which must be considered in sequence- Get the material in, get the air out, get the heat out, get the part out. Good luck

Good video to illustrate how mold is designed and manufactured. About the injection mold life span, maybe you could get it more detailed, such as with different plastic material, what steel is more suitable to achieve certain life shots. Thanks for sharing.

But how did they do before CNC? How did they make intricate and detailed moulds like airplane model kits?

Can kevlar or carbon fiber will be used for moulding

What would be the cost of average moulding for semi automatic verticle moulding

I want to learn how to design injection molding, any course to learn it?

[yusufak]

How long does it take to prepare a mold?

sir what plastic has good durability? Going for science projects.
please tell the price per kg or price of sheet of thickness 2mm, 1square foot

why are aluminium moulds more expensive when steel is a cheaper material (most grades)
