Part 2 – Cycle Time Reduction Through Part Design

Join Andy Routsis, founder and president of A. Routsis Associates, as he discusses effective ways to reduce cycle time and process efficiency through part design. Andy will share a few of his approaches to part design with respect to cooling line layout, part removal, and part thickness. This recorded seminar can benefit mold designers, part designers, processors, and anyone involved in the part and mold procurement process. All attendees will also receive follow-up materials relevant to the discussion.

Mold Design and Moldmaking – Actuators (excerpt)

This comprehensive 9-part course was created with help from many of the world’s leading tool manufacturers and suppliers and is intended for tool designers, mold makers, engineers, part designers, and anyone involved in the tool procurement process. The Mold Design and Moldmaking Series familiarizes participants with the different types of injection molds, contemporary machining methods, and many of the available mold components. This course also provides the participant with a tool design methodology and a sample mold specification guide for reference. A.

3d printing, 3d laser scanning, rapid prototype, CAD, Mechanical and Industrial Design

We are a group of engineers, mechanical/industrial designers, entrepreneurs, and inventors, that have a passion of creating innovative ideas and inventions transforming them into physical reality. We start with conception sketches for visualization and help all the way through the product development cycle. We create prototypes by designing 3D CAD interactive parametric models using Solidworks, autocad and other 3D software. We can then create 3D pictures using graphic design and graphical animations(movies) so you can visualize exactly how your idea will look, work together, and function. We can then create a functional prototype using a 3D rapid prototype printer using FDM(Fused Deposited Material) out of ABS custom plastic. We can also do electrical hardware, PCB boards, and software. We are also a 3D laser scanning service bureau, using the scanner we can reverse engineer existing products or out of production parts. 3D software then digitizes it creating a 3D stl model that you can create cad models if needed, then modify them. We have connections to other professionals that we can get your product patented and protect your intellectual property. We also have a network of manufactures, factories, CNC machine shops, injection molders, and more. Let us get your ideas in your hand quickly!

Best Thermoplastic Design Book?

Question by AarDVark: Best Thermoplastic Design Book?
I’m studying in mechanical engineering and i’m really interested in plastic injection design. I don’t know much about it so i’m trying to find documentation. Right now, the best book i found is “The Complete Part Design Handbook – For Injection Molding of Thermoplastics” , it explains the difference between multiple polymers, what to do and not to do when dimensioning a plastic part, flexion torsion etc formulas.

Does someone has any suggestions ? Thanks!

Q&A: Can someone help me find a mechanical design guide to PCBs?

Question by mrlexington: Can someone help me find a mechanical design guide to PCBs?
I’m an ME working on a consumer electronics product made primarily from injection molded plastic that encloses a PCB. I’m unsure of what tolerances I can expect from the PCB. I need to know these tolerances so I can appropriately define boss diameter sizes and spacing as well as various other features that meet PCB to plastic. Thanks.
