manifold edge

Software; CAM

A manifold edge is a mesh edge that has two entities attached to it. An edge is a line segment that connects two mesh nodes. In a Fusion mesh, manifold edges are the only type of edges which are ...

masterbatch

Software; CAM

A masterbatch is a concentration of filler or additives in a polymer. The mixture is added in small amounts to create the desired mix.

model

Software; CAM

A mathematical description of the relationships of the physical entity being described. For example, a geometry model is a mathematical description of the physical shape and characteristics of the ...

meld line

Software; CAM

A meld line is a weakness or visible flaw created when two or more flows meet and converge while filling a part. A meld line is typically formed by parallel flows, whereas weld lines are formed by ...

mesh - surface (fusion)

Software; CAM

A mesh consisting of surface (double-skin) shell elements. Surface mesh elements can be 3 or 6 noded planar, straight-edged triangles. A surface mesh analysis simulates the flow of the melt on both ...

non-manifold edge

Software; CAM

A non-manifold edge is a mesh edge with more than two entities attached to it. An edge is a line segment that connects two mesh nodes. On a Fusion mesh, non-manifold edges should be corrected because ...

pinpoint gate

Software; CAM

A pinpoint gate is a small gate, generally 0.75mm or less in diameter. In multi-cavity molds, the dimensions of pinpoint gates must be held within very tight tolerances in order to fill all cavities ...
