Conformal Cooling – A new way to cool

If you think you don’t have the budget or know-how for cost-reducing conformal cooling, it’s time for an update on the technology.
Growing numbers of injection molders are discovering the advantages of using conformal cooling channels that follow the shape of the cavity and core, reach hot spots, and promote temperature uniformity in the plastic materials being molded. These molders are seeing striking results: shortened cycle times, improved plastic part quality, and—above all—cost reductions.
Even so, many manufacturers, some of them with long experience in the industry, still think conformal cooling is too difficult and too expensive. They think these things because both used to be true.
