CAM

crystalline polymers

Software; CAM

Crystalline polymers are a family of polymers that are characterized by an ordered arrangement of the molecules which fit closely together. Typically, crystalline polymers are more dense than ...

crystallinity

Software; CAM

Crystallinity is a solid, molecular state of some polymers which denotes compactness of the molecular chains. This characteristic is attributable to the existence of solid crystals with definite ...

During cooling some polymers form an ordered molecular structure which are called crystals. The rate of crystallization is a function of both temperature and time. The level of crystallinity achieved ...

draft angle

Software; CAM

The angle included in the part design to allow the part to be easily ejected from the mold.

drooling

Software; CAM

Drooling is leakage of polymer from the nozzle, sprue, or gate. This creates thin strands of plastic that can get caught in the mold.

dwell

Software; CAM

Dwell is a pause in the mold closing cycle of a compression molding operation to permit gas to escape from the molding material.

dynamic flow

Software; CAM

Dynamic flow is the flow before the cavity is actually full, when a flow front still exists towards the end of the cavity. This results in an area within the mold without plastic.
