Optimization of feed system design in family mould using mould flow simulation software

Various problems have been found in the plastic injection industry recently.One of the major obstacles is a balancing of gates and runners in a family mold due to lack of clear understanding of the flow behavior of plastic in the mold resulting in overpacking,short shot or any other defects on the...
