shot weight

Software; CAM

In injection molding, the shot weight is the mass of plastic delivered in one complete filling of the mold, including the molded parts, sprue, runners, and flash.

In the context of model geometry. When modeling, you typically create nodes and then use nodes to create curves and regions. Nodes take on special significance when you assign attributes to them. For ...

ram

Software; CAM

In the injection molding process the ram (or screw) is the part of the injection molding machine that pushes the polymer into the mold. See also screw.

mesh

Software; CAM

Injection molding simulation involves solving the governing equations of mass, momentum, and energy numerically over the physical domain. The numerical implementation involves discretizing the ...

intersecting mesh elements

Software; CAM

Intersecting mesh elements are mesh elements that lie on different planes and intersect each other.

jetting

Software; CAM

Jetting is the snake-like stream of polymer melt that occurs when the melt is pushed at a high velocity through restrictive areas (such as the nozzle, runner, or gate), into open, thicker areas, ...
