Injection Mold Design Handbook will take the reader through the process of conceptualizing and designing an injection mold that will produce the desired plastic part. Since it all starts with the plastic part, the book will first focus on key features and details of the plastic part which are necessary for good mold design. The design of the main components of an injection mold will be discussed and good design practices will be shared. Finally the process of testing and gaining customer acceptance of the mold for production will be detailed. A comprehensive appendix and detailed drawings will provide the required detail for completing a mold design.

"This applications-oriented book describes the construction of an injection mould from the ground up. Included are explanations of the individual types of tools, components, and technical terms; design procedures; techniques, tips, and tricks in the construction of an injection mould; and pros and cons of various solutions. Based on a plastic part ("bowl with lid") specially developed for this book, easily understandable text and many illustrative pictures and drawings provide the necessary knowledge for practical implementation. Step by step, the plastic part is modified and enhanced. The technologies and designs that are additionally needed for an injection mould are described by engineering drawings. Maintenance and repair, and essential manufacturing techniques are also discussed."--

"This book covers the most recent and important developments in advanced injection molding technologies, such as intelligent process control; technology innovations and computer simulation for emerging special injection molding processes like microinjection molding, microcellular injection molding, water-assisted foaming, water-assisted injection molding, and variable mold temperature technologies; conductive polymer foams and composites; injection molding of optical products; and an automated mold design navigation system with integrated knowledge management capability. It is intended to be used as a textbook for both introductory and advanced injection molding courses, as a must-have reference for professional engineers and engineering managers who want to keep abreast of the latest technological developments and applications, and in libraries to serve interested readers from both academic and industrial communities as well as the general public. With chapters written by an international team of experts, this book provides a broad and insightful coverage, complementary to other books on injection molding"

This highly practical troubleshooting guide solves injection molding problems systematically and quickly. The rigorous but user-friendly approach employs the authors' proven "STOP" methodology, considering molding process, mold, machine, and material (4M's) as possible sources of part defects. Importantly, the interaction between tooling, processing, and material is emphasized, allowing successful resolution of difficultproblems where "by-the-books" approaches fail. Starting from troubleshooting methodology and tools, there is a focused discussion of key areas impacting troubleshooting, in particular the 4M's, followed by an in-depth troubleshooting guide for various molding defects, structured logically by type of problem / solution. Insightful case studies throughout show the strengths of the STOP method to get real processes to run smoothly and reliably, producing quality parts with optimal cycle time and cost. Drawing on a wealth of hands-on experience, this book serves as an ideal reference to be consulted at the machine, or as a learning and training manual, suitable for both beginners and experienced molders. With valuable information on robust process windows, cycle time evaluations, scrap savings, and runners / gates with no existing standard in the industry, no other book provides the unique insights found here. The 2nd edition is updated with new discussion and case studies on topics including additive manufactured inserts, unmelts, buildup, burns, cycle time, gloss variation, and read-through.
