ABSTRACT:
This paper objects to deliver a brief summary on different types of Conformal cooling channel designs available for injection molding process, Also, the conformal cooling channel plays very important role in plastic injection process of injection molding by improving its efficiency and quality thus, reducing the whole cycle time of production. A comparative study of different conformal cooling channels like Series and parallel Conformal cooling channel, square section conformal cooling channel (SSCCC), Spiral cooling channel, Scaffold conformal cooling channel, array of baffle conformal cooling channel, micro cooling channel and their effects on injection molding based manufacturing process are shown. Study related to the performance analysis of different conformal cooling channels is done by using “Autodesk moldflow Advisor”. This paper presents a succinct review of recent progress in Conformal cooling channels.
