Filler

Software; CAM

Fillers are materials that can be added to a polymer for injection molding. Adding a filler to a polymer can increase the strength of the polymer and ensure that good quality parts are produced.

Flow fronts from 2 directions meet, then pause momentarily, long enough for a frozen layer to develop, then the polymer in one of the flows reverses direction and flows back between the outer frozen ...

Flow leaders and deflectors

Software; CAM

Flow leaders and deflectors are surfaces with thicknesses designed to direct the flow front, either by attracting it (leaders) or by deflecting it (deflectors). Flow leaders are thicker parts of the ...

Friction

Software; CAM

Friction is a force which acts against motion. When a part is being ejected, if there is high friction between the part and the mould walls, then the part may be impossible to eject, or it may be ...

Gate freeze

Software; CAM

Gate freeze is the moment during the packing phase when polymer at the gate has frozen solid and no more polymer can be packed into the mould cavity.

Gloss mark

Software; CAM

Gloss is the shiny appearance of a moulded part's surface. Differences in the gloss finish of a part are caused by different projection behaviours of the plastic at the mould wall, due to different ...
