Cold Runner FDA PP Home Appliance Mold DME Coffee Cup Mould

Plastic cups made by Injection mold

Plastic cups are incredibly cheap and have broad usage in our lives. These types of molds are the easy ones that are less complex features than others such as the parts from automotive and household industries.

With reference to mold manufacturing, the following sequence may make sense.

Step 1 --Loading in a Part Model

• Load in the product model,
• assign the mold pull direction and scale factor,
• Create the containing box

Step 2 --Creating the Layout, Gates, and Runners,

• Define the cavitation of the mold
• Create gating for the part mode,
• Create the runners between gate

Step 3 --Loading in a Mold Base

• define the style of the mold base
• select the series of moldbase
• enter the size any necessary customized specification of mold base

Step 4 --Creating the parting line and inserts

• define the parting line for the creation of core and cavity
• create necessary inserts

Step 5 --Designing the Hot Runner System (Optional)

• define the style of manifold,
• design the nozzle and runner system

Step 6 --Designing the Sliders, Lifters

• Using the slider design will create the lifter head and lifter body that are required in the design for interior undercuts.

Step 7 --Designing the Cooling system

• define the cooling channels for the core, cavity, plates, slides, or lifters
• add standard cooling accessories to the cooling system.

Step 8 --Designing the Part Ejection system

• define the ejector pins needed to eject the part from mold
• choose the different styles and sizes of ejector pins that are needed in the design

Step 9 --Adding in Standard Parts

• define and locate standard parts like the socket head cap screw and location locating rings to complete the mold desigh

Step 10 --Design of Electrodes for CAM

• define the boundaries of geometry for electrodes
• select an electrode tool holder for electrode designed
