Mold Design
During the part design phase, it is important
to consider how the part will be molded. There
are many variables, such as balancing fill, fiber
orientation, flowing from thick to thin areas,
parting lines and shut off at the inserts that need
to be considered at this stage. Considering all the
mentioned parameters and feeding back into the
part design in coordination with the tool design will
lead to a higher probability of successful molding
process (Figure 12).
A good example of this process is the design
of the composite inserts. The inserts are simple in
shape but designing the molding tool to hold the
inserts firmly and accurately in the proper position
can still be a challenge in the design of the mold.
The insert must be held in a way that minimizes
deformation of the inserts due to heat, melt flow,
and pressure, and allows easy
access for an operator or robot to
load the insert in the tool.
For this bracket, the tool is
designed so that a common frame
can be used with multiple core
/ cavity sets to minimize overall
tooling cost for a family of similar
parts.
