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 […]
Understanding Cause and Effect Behavior in Injection Molding
This presentation, delivered by Torsten Kruse of Kruse Training, provides a structured, practical introduction to the core principles needed to achieve robust, predictable, and scalable injection molding processes. It integrates three foundational disciplines—Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design of Experiments (DOE), and systematic cause-and-effect analysis—to establish a disciplined framework for process understanding and control. The presentation […]
