Injection mold assembly and method of designing same

An injection mold assembly for injection molding an object includes a first mold tool having a first tool surface and a second mold tool having a second tool surface. The first and the second tool surfaces are cooperatively configured to define a mold cavity between the tool surfaces for an injection molding of an object. The first mold tool has a tool element with a first side that has the first tool surface, and with a second side opposite the first side. Multiple fins extend from the second side of the tool element. A base supports the fins. The tool element, the fins and the base define a coolant flow cavity at the second side of the tool element. A method of designing the mold assembly is also disclosed.

Pouch molding method and apparatus

To solve the above problems, a pouch molding method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a seating step of seating a pouch film on a top surface of a die; a stripper descending step of allowing a stripper disposed above the die to descend; a fixing step of fixing the pouch film using the stripper; a molding preparation step of allowing a Blank holder disposed at a central portion of the die to ascend to contact one surface of the pouch film and allowing a punch disposed at a central portion of the stripper to descend to contact the other surface of the pouch film; and a molding step of allowing the punch and the Blank holder to descend along with each other to form a cup part in the pouch film.

Internal tooling for composite parts

Systems and methods are provided for composite part fabrication. One embodiment is a method for fabricating a composite part. The method includes selecting a tool with sides made of a core material in a desired size and shape, disposing a preform of a fiber reinforced material that surrounds the tool, resulting in a lamina assembly comprising the preform and the tool, heating the tool and the preform, co-bonding the tool to the fiber reinforced material within the lamina assembly, and hardening the preform and the tool into a hybrid composite part.

HOT STAMPING APPARATUS AND HOT STAMPING METHOD
20220169069 · 2022-06-02 · ·

A hot stamping apparatus and a hot stamping method are for collectively decorating a plurality of decoration objects using a decorative sheet. In a hot stamping apparatus, an upper chamber and a lower chamber are partitioned by a partition sheet and pressing bodies, so that decorative sheet pieces can be used instead of a decorative sheet having a large area. Then, by using the decorative sheet pieces, local thermal deformation can be prevented. A usage amount of the decorative sheet can be reduced, and three-dimensional decoration can be implemented as needed on a portion requiring decoration.

METHOD FOR TRANSMFERRING A NEGATIVE STRUCTURE OF A SURFACE OF AN INNER WALL OF A BLOW MOLDING TOOL, AND PLASTIC CONTAINER
20220152910 · 2022-05-19 ·

A method for transferring a negative structure of a surface of an inner wall (51) of a blow molding tool (1) onto a surface of a plastic container. The method comprises the steps of heating at least one region (511) of a mold cavity (6) of a molding body (4) of the blow molding tool (1), on which the negative structure is formed, inserting a preform into the mold cavity (6), closing the blow molding tool (1), molding the plastic container by inflating the preform and bringing the preform to lie against the inner wall (51) of the mold cavity (6), cooling the region (511) by supplying a coolant through temperature control channels (54), and removing the plastic container from the mold.
