Conformal cooling channels are cool-
ing passageways that follow the shape or
profile of the mold core or cavity to perform a
rapid uniform cooling process for injection and
blow molding processes.
With the multi-layer LOM design, more complex
cooling channel designs can be incorproated
into injection molds, allowing for higher pres-
sures to be used. This significantly decreases
cycle times as much as 40% while enhancing
product quality.
Next Gen Applications
Whether applied in layers or simply to bond
two parts, the diffusion bonding process is an
ideal process for joining refractory and other
high strength alloyed materials together with-
out the need for brazing.
Although it has been around for decades, with
more precise control of temperature and the
uniformity of pressure across large parts, dif-
fusion bonding opens up tremendous possibili-
ties for a variety of next generation products.
