Synopsis
Rees and Catoen draw on decades of experience in research, development and engineering at Husky Injection Molding Systems in creating a text for mold designers and persons making purchasing decisions about molds which will be built elsewhere. The text explains how to examine the product design and its specifications, and the significance of some design features to the expected productivity, all of which can result in building or purchasing the best-suited mold at the lowest cost. Coverage includes an introductory overview; planning; the plastic product; cost factors affecting productivity; mold selection; mold cost, mold price and delivery; and warranties, patents, and ethical considerations. Illustrated throughout with b&w and color photographs, diagrams and charts. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
