The DraftAngleAnalysis command visually evaluates surface draft-angle using false-color analysis.Draft angle is used to design injection-molded parts that must eject from molds.Steps1. Select objects.2. In the Draft Angle dialog box, set the angle for the color display.The draft angle depends on the construction plane orientation. When the surface is vertical/perpendicular to the construction plan...

With the definition of the parting plane and all necessary shut-offs,the core insert and cavity insert have been completely separated.To create the cavity and core inserts,the length,width,and height of the inserts must be defined.All of these requirements suggest making the core and cavity inserts as large as possible.For smaller molded parts,increasing the sizing the core and cavity inserts may ...

Gate types The two main gate systems are manually trimmed gates and automatically trimmed gates. The following examples show where they are used:1. Sprue gate: Used for large components, the gate mark is visible in component and no runner is required. e.g.: bucket molding (backside ...

Ejection system types l Pin ejection—Cylindrical pins eject the finished component. In the case of square and rectangular components, a minimum of four pins (at the four corners) are required. In the case of cylindrical components, three equidistant pins (i.e. 120° apart) are requir...

Hard Tooling -Steel/aluminum tools are used for the injection molding process for prototype or bridge, but these tools are mostly used for high volume production (100’s-100,000’s).-Steel/aluminum tools typically range in price from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. And pend...
