If you haven’t tried Protomold® lately, you’re probably unaware that we have expanded our prototype and shortrun rapid injection molding capabilities. Our ProtoQuote® online quoting engine provides interactive quotations with design and moldability analysis. ProtoView®, a rotatable 3D viewer, highlights potential problem areas in the submitted design and may include a free ProtoFlow® mold-fill analysis with animated temperature and pressure simulations. Part complexity has also been advanced via molds having up to four side-actions, supporting a wider variety of undercuts in the part design. The allowable depth of these undercuts has also been increased, as well as overall part depth. Protomold has also added larger presses to its production facility to increase the maximum X and Y dimensions of moldable parts. Most importantly, Protomold ships injection molded parts in as little as one business day. Protomold. Nobody’s faster in the short run.® www.protomold.com n Enter 503 www.applianceDESIGN.com applianceDESIGN January 2008 17 http://www.appliance.lydall.com www.protomold.com/?s=ADDE0108&ls=ADDE0108 http://www.appliance.lydall.com www.protomold.com/?s=ADDE0108&ls=ADDE0108 www.protomold.com/?s=ADDE0108&ls=ADDE0108 http://www.appliance.lydall.com http://www.appliancedesign.com
