Packing Flow Visualization During Compression of the Mold Cavity
The packing phase is a critical stage of the injection molding process, occurring immediately after cavity filling and before gate freeze-off. During this phase, additional material is forced into the mold cavity to compensate for volumetric shrinkage as the polymer cools and solidifies. Precise control of packing pressure and time is essential, as these parameters […]
