CAM

shear rate

Software; CAM

Shear rate is the rate of change of shear strain with time.

Shear stress is caused by friction between the moving plastic and the mold wall and between the layers of plastic moving at different rates. High shear stress can cause the plastic to degrade or to ...

shrinkage

Software; CAM

Shrinkage is the reduction in the dimensions of a plastic part, compared with the mold dimensions. Shrinkage occurs as the polymer cools. Shrinkage can vary in different directions. Crystalline and ...

stl file

Software; CAM

STL (stereolithography) is a tessellated representation of the surfaces of a solid, using triangles. STL was initially used in rapid prototyping. STL files can be in either ASCII or binary format. ...

tensile strength

Software; CAM

Tensile strength is the maximum nominal stress sustained by a material being pulled from both ends, at a specified temperature and at a specified rate of stretching.

record groove

Software; CAM

The appearance of this surface defect is similar to the grooves on a record. Record grooves are formed when a high flow resistance exists in the mold, thus leading to a repeated temporary stagnation ...
