Handbook of Thermoplastics Injection Mould Design

Injection moulding is one of the most important methods of manufacturing plastics products. Through the development of sophisticated micro­ processor control systems, the modern injection moulding machine is capable of producing precision mouldings with close tolerances in large numbers and with excellent reproducibility. This capability, however, is often limited by the lack of a proper appreciation of mould design. The mould, or tool as it is often called, is at the heart of the injection...
