Safely Navigating Innovative Successful Cooling Strategies in Plastic Injection Molding

  Summary

In recent decades, numerous innovative cooling technologies have emerged, each promising to revolutionize the plastic injection molding industry. However, for Molders and Mold Makers, the challenge lies in distinguishing genuine performance benefits from marketing claims, while minimizing investment risks.

This webinar will provide a technical exploration of two prominent cooling strategies: conformal cooling, leveraging advanced 3D printing technology from Mantle, and PulseCooling, utilizing specialized hardware developed by CITO. Attendees will gain insights into a structured approach for evaluating these technologies leveraging the latest cooling simulation tools to augment the experts knowledge, mitigating financial risks, and making informed decisions that optimize their molding processes.
