PET240 — Injection Mold Tooling
PET 240 - Injection Mold Tooling PET 240 - Injection Mold Tooling Min An overview of the tooling used in injection molding. The study will cover general mold construction and materials used in the mold. Topics will include the different mold styles such as 2-plate, 3-plate, hot runner, and cold runner. The different systems of a mold including runners, gates, vents, cooling, and ejection will be studied. Part design for acceptable tooling along with tooling practices used in current industry will also be studied. Knowledge of these topics will be gained through text, lecture, and some lab time.
