| Woe With the Flow (and How to Avoid It) |
| Thin walls in plastic parts can be problematic and rhe resin flow is affected by many factors. Protomold has developed new technology, ProtoFlow, a computerized flow analysis. This will help you identify flow issues through pressure analysis. |
| Thin-Wall Warpage |
| There’s much to consider in runner, gate, and feedpoint sizing when working with skinny parts. The runners and parts I picked for this month’s article demonstrate two important points to be aware of when trying to fill and pack thin-wall parts. |
| How Mesh Type Affects Analysis |
| There are four basic types of mesh used to represent the different geometry components for injection molding simulation, which are: Beam (1D), Midplane (2.5D), Dual Domain (also referred to as modified 2.5D and MPI/Fusion meshes) True three-dimensional (3D) mesh elements. |
