Moldflow Design Guide: A Resource for Plastics Engineers - Tapa dura

This book helps plastics designers and engineers solve common problems afflicting plastic parts and molds. Moldflow pioneered injection molding simulation in 1978 and has helped over 5,000 manufacturers make better parts faster and with higher profit. Whether you use Moldflow software or not, this guide is an indispensable tool to understanding plastic flow, CAE analysis and results, and cooling and warp effects to aid in the successful design and manufacture of parts and molds. The book incorporates much of the knowledge that has been developed at Moldflow and includes an overview of polymer flow behavior and the injection molding process, design principles to facilitate integrated part and mold design, and examples of how Mold?ow technology can be used both to solve problems and optimize design and manufacturing.

The origins of this book not only include Moldflow Design Principles, but also includes Warpage Design Principles published by Moldflow, and C-Mold Design Guide. Collectively, these documents are based on years of experience in the research, theory and practice of injection molding. These documents are now combined into one book, the Moldflow Design Principles. This book is intended to help practicing engineers solve problems they encounter frequently in the design of parts and molds, as will as during production. This book can also be used as a reference for training purpose at industrial, as well as educational institutions.
