CALCULATORS / MANUFACTURING

Molding, casting and tooling

Early process estimates with material and supplier data.

projected cavity/runner area, cavity-pressure assumption → required clamp force, sensitivity

part/runner volume, cavity count, melt density → shot mass, volume, machine-capacity comparison

wall thickness, diffusivity, melt/mold/ejection temperatures → conditional cooling time

target dimensions, directional shrink data, tolerances → tool dimensions, expected dimension interval

draw depth, draft angle, texture/process criterion → wall offset, release-clearance screening

wall dimensions, rib geometry, material/process criteria → ratio checks, sink-risk indicators

tooling costs, unit costs, scrap, demand → break-even quantity, total-cost curves

demand, cycle time, uptime, shot and clamp limits → capacity, feasible cavity counts

net part, runner and riser volumes, returns assumption → yield, melt requirement

casting modulus, mold constant, exponent → relative or calibrated solidification time
