How to Make Injection Molds

By Paul Mohren and Georg Menges

Here is a comprehensive guide for everyone engaged in the design or manufacture of injection molds. Written for engineers, plastics professionals, and students, the book is intended to assist in the mold-making process and help avoid costly mistakes. The authors cover all aspects, including material selection, fabricating cavities and cores, general mold design, hot runner systems, venting, design, demolding techniques and devices, maintenance, hardware, construction procedures, and more. All topics are presented in a thorough, detailed manner, based on the authors' extensive practical experience. The emphasis is on the application of designs and concepts in real manufacturing settings. In addition, the book can be used as a text for those who have little detailed knowledge or practical experience with injection molding or mold-making procedures. The new second edition draws on the most recent literature as well as extensive research and development at the Institute for Plastics Processing at the Technical University of Aachen, Germany.
