Injection Mould Design

The primary object of this text is to provide a handbook on design for mould draughtsmen and industrial designers. In addition, the book has been used increasingly by novices as an introductory guide, as it progresses in simple stages from the consideration of basic principles and components to detailed explanations of the more complex types of special purpose moulds. This edition has been revised to include additional information on standard parts and an enlarged section of worked examples. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 covers mould-making methods and other primary considerations such as feed systems, parting surfaces and mould cooling. Part 2 progresses to specific designs such as splits, underfeed and hotrunner types. The third part of the book is written primarily for the novice, and includes chapters on various procedures for designing an injection mould and checking mould drawings and worked examples.
