CAM

A defect on the surface of a moulded part. Sink marks are caused mainly by thermal contraction (shrinkage) during packing, if the temperature and pressure are not controlled correctly. They can occur ...

Feasible moulding window

Software; CAM

A feasible moulding window is represented by a set of boundaries that define a window-like shape. For the process setting ranges inside the window boundaries, the moulding process is feasible; ...

Fillet

Software; CAM

A fillet is a rounded interior corner of a part that makes the part stronger.

Flash

Software; CAM

A flash occurs when the polymer is not totally contained within the mould cavity. The most common causes of flash are an excessive velocity stroke, injection velocity, packing pressure, and a low ...

Parting plane

Software; CAM

The parting plane is the surface of the two mould halves that separates when the mould opens.

Filling phase

Software; CAM

The period during the injection moulding process when plastic is injected to fill the cavity.

Poisson's ratio

Software; CAM

The Poisson's ratio (n12) pertains to a material under tensile stress, and is defined as the ratio of lateral (or transverse) contraction strain (in the second principal direction) to the ...
