Software; CAM

The part is the object that will be made. It is the finished product of the moulding process.

When a polymer flows through a large cross-section to a smaller one, it will extend longitudinally. This will result in a pressure drop that will be dependent upon the extensional viscosity of the ...

Venting

Software; CAM
