CAM

When a polymer flows through a large cross-section to a smaller one, it will extend longitudinally. This will result in a pressure drop that will be dependent upon the extensional viscosity of the ...

venting

Software; CAM

When air is trapped within the cavity, for example, at the last point to fill in the mold or at weld lines, blackening or "dieseling" of the part can occur. Venting involves making a minor ...

in the context of mesh

Software; CAM

When you mesh a model, model nodes are converted to mesh nodes and additional mesh nodes are generated. Mesh nodes are the vertices of Midplane, Fusion, and 3D mesh elements and the ends of beam ...

cooling channel

Software; CAM

A cooling channel is a passageway in a mold for circulating water or another cooling medium, in order to control the temperature of the metal surfaces in contact with the plastic being ...

cooling time

Software; CAM

Gross cooling time is the time after the velocity phase until the part is sufficiently cooled to be ejected from the mold. Therefore, gross cooling time is the sum of the pressure phase (packing and ...

core

Software; CAM

The core is the part of the mold which shapes the inside of a molded part.

cracking

Software; CAM

Cracking is the formation of a narrow separation in a plastic component, usually by the rupture of chemical bonds due to internal and external stress.
