CAM

mold open time

Software; CAM

Mold open time is the duration of time during which the mold is open. Mold open time begins when the mold opens for part ejection and ends when the mold closes so that the screw can begin moving ...

nominal part thickness

Software; CAM

Nominal part thickness is the thickness of the part at the thickest section.

Normalized thickness is a measurement of part thickness. The normalized thickness value ranges from -1 to 1, where 0 is the center of the part and 1 and -1 are the plastic/metal interfaces, or mold ...

nozzle pressure

Software; CAM

Nozzle pressure is the pressure applied to the polymer at the nozzle. Setting nozzle pressure is one way of specifying the injection pressure of the polymer.

optimization

Software; CAM

Optimization is the process of finding the best conditions for molding a particular part. The part geometry, the material selection, the injection location, and the processing conditions can all be ...

overlapping mesh elements

Software; CAM

Overlapping mesh elements are mesh elements that overlap in the same plane. Remove overlapping elements from a mesh because they interfere with accurate analyses. Overlapping elements include: 1) ...

overpacking

Software; CAM

Overpacking occurs when extra material is compressed into one flow path while other flow paths are still filling. The shortest and thickest flow paths fill first, resulting in overpacking. ...
