Abstract

In this paper, a new methodology for the design of effective cooling system of thermoplastic injection tools is proposed. It is named MCOOL® for Morpho Cooling. It allows the design of the cooling channels in the mold with no a priori on the number, the size, the shape of the channels and the temperature of the coolant before performing the optimization. Numerical and experimental results obtained on a mold manufactured thanks to this methodology are compared with those coming from a conventional design. The criteria used to discriminate the results are based on the uniformity of the temperature field in the molded part and on the final warpage of the part.
