01/07/2013Project Statement
The purpose of this mold flow study was to evaluate the manufacturing performance change in a single cavity simple Cap mold with conformal cooling utilizing Polyshot’s brazed core technology and one utilizing a standard baffle design.
Both scenario’s inputs were identical with the exception of the mold insert and cooling configuration.
