Crystallisation

Software; CAM

During cooling some polymers form an ordered molecular structure which are called crystals. The rate of crystallisation is a function of both temperature and time. The level of crystallinity achieved ...

Cure

Software; CAM

Cure is a stage reached by a thermosetting material that is sufficiently cross-linked to form a solid; the cross linking is the result of a chemical reaction. Sometimes this term is used to describe ...

Cooling time

Software; CAM

Gross cooling time is the time after the velocity phase until the part is sufficiently cooled to be ejected from the mold. Therefore, gross cooling time is the sum of the pressure phase (packing and ...

Conic arc

Software; CAM

A mathematical form for representing ellipses, hyperbola and parabolas.

Control limits

Software; CAM

Control limits are statistically determined values between which a control variable is allowed to range without adjusting the process. Control limits provide an indication of the variation in the ...

Cooling channel

Software; CAM

A cooling channel is a passageway in a mould for circulating water or another cooling medium, in order to control the temperature of the metal surfaces in contact with the plastic being ...

Core

Software; CAM

The core is the part of the mould which shapes the inside of a moulded part.
