parting plane

Software; CAM

The parting plane is the surface of the two mold halves that separates when the mold opens.

filling phase

Software; CAM

The period during the injection molding process when plastic is injected to fill the cavity.

poisson's ratio

Software; CAM

The Poisson's ratio (n12) pertains to a material under tensile stress, and is defined as the ratio of lateral (or transverse) contraction strain (in the second principal direction) to the ...

The pressure gradient in the molten polymer is the pressure drop per unit of length along the flow path. The pressure drop from one location to another is the force that pushes the molten polymer to ...

pressure stroke

Software; CAM

The pressure stroke is the proportion of the total stroke performed under pressure control. This is the distance between the velocity to pressure change-over position and the screw forward position ...

pressurization phase

Software; CAM

The pressurization phase is the period during the injection molding process when extra plastic is injected to ensure all corners and edges of the mold cavity are full of plastic.
