Investigating the Effectiveness and Stability of Conformal Cooling Channels in Injection Moulds
(2024)
This paper examines the integration of conformal cooling channels into micro injection moulds using advanced techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) to improve production efficiency while reducing operating temperatures. It takes into account the essential characteristics of stability. The study aims to carry out pressure studies using simulations to evaluate the impact on the mould.
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a proposed manufacturing technique of the future that enables the production of complex geometries with minimal material wastage. This technique allows for the creation of force-optimized structures that can save even more material. The properties of SLM-printed metals differ from rolled or cast material. This paper proposes a concept for force and weight optimization using simulation and real-world data.
