Tooling and Mold Making

At Atalys, we have developed a method for estimating the optimum cure time for each molding assignment. In essence, the model allows us to quantify the cooling challenge to be overcome, and enables us to determine the key parameters of the mold design that would be necessary if the desired cure time is to be achieved.

A customer came to us with a cooling challenge involving a long cannula. The parts were coming off the press at high temperatures that rendered them unusable. As a short-term measure, the parts were kept longer in the mold to give them extra time to cool. This lengthened cycle times, however, and was far from sustainable. Find out how Atalys engineers came up up with a long-term, viable solution in this case study.

For medical device components, following a proven DFM process can help ensure that parts and tools are designed in a way that is optimized for injection molding, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process.
