ESTABLISHING A PROCESS – THE SCIENTIFIC MOLDING METHOD The scientific method of molding is a way of creating the largest processing window for the mold and material. Injection Mold Design Engineering. Injection Molding Handbook. 2nd ed.

MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Gates • Many different types of gates can be used such as pin, fan, tunnel, tab and edge gates. Half-round runners are not recommended. • Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended. • Runner diameters larger than 0.150" (3.8mm) and not exceeding 0.375" (9.5mm) are recommended. • Step each 90° bend in the system down in size (from sprue to gate) approximately 1/16" (1.5mm) to reduce pressure drop. • Place vents at each 90° intersection and vent to atmosphere. • Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.
