CAM

density

Software; CAM

The density of a plastic part is measured by dividing its mass by its volume. A denser part has more plastic molecules and more weight per volume. A part can have some regions with higher density ...

disc gate

Software; CAM

A disc gate is a mold gate used in an identification of a molded part, generally having the same cross-section as the mold runner.

The dominant flow path is the flow path of least resistance (the smallest pressure drop) from the polymer injection location to the last place to fill. In the graphic below, the cone indicates the ...

thermal conductivity

Software; CAM

The thermal conductivity of a material is the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit length per degrees Celsius. It is expressed in units of W/m.°C. It is essentially a measure of the rate at ...

filling time

Software; CAM

The time required for the injection molding machine to fill the part.

transition temperature

Software; CAM

The transition temperature is the polymer freeze temperature. At this temperature, the melt-to-solid transition occurs. The transition temperature corresponds to the glass-transition temperature (Tg) ...

velocity profile

Software; CAM

The velocity profile is a graph made up of set points joined by lines. The set points determine the velocity to be used at specific displacement measurements. The velocity profile controls how the ...
