Injection molders generally assume that the colder you run the mold coolant temperature, the faster the part will cool, and, thus, shorten the cycle time. But we need to ask ourselves: How low can you go with water temperature before it has a negative effect on part quality and cycle time?
There are several options for producing low-volume plastic parts that achieve commercial quality levels. These processes, normally associated with prototyping, are now increasingly being used for low-volume production.
According to the British Plastics Federation, 69% of all plastics-related British trade is completed within the European Union (EU). Failure to secure a trade deal with the EU would see a dramatic increase to both the cost of imports and exports.
