“It’s called conformal cooling,” Rauch explained. “It allows the cooling passage to follow the shape of the part being made.” This is particularly important for intricate parts, which ...

Conformal cooling channels have emerged as a transformative enhancement to the injection moulding process. Unlike traditional straight-drilled channels, these channels are designed to closely ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. On the left is an example of a 3D-printed metal mold printed with conformal cooling channels. At right are ...

Elk Grove Village, Ill. — Conformal cooling — molds built with cooling channels that curve to follow the shape of the part — can make injection molded parts with better quality, less molded ...

Oak Brook, Ill. — IMTECH attendees got a dose of hard metal at the inaugural IMTECH conference: precision side valve gating, conformal cooling and tooling for liquid silicone rubber. Donald ...

Manufacturers of plastic parts recognize the potential of conformal cooling to reduce molding cycle times. Problem is, conformal molds require additive manufacturing (AM), and technologies in that ...

As engine-makers look for increased heat rejection capability to enable advanced cycles and better performance, Utah-based thermal management specialist Intergalactic has unveiled a curved ...
