Orthotics Moulding

In addition, our company has established cooperative relationships with plastic raw material suppliers, printing manufacturers, etc. to ensure the supply of raw materials and printing quality. Through our rich experience and perfect supply chain, our company can provide customers with high-quality customized orthotics products to meet their specific needs. At the same time, we have 10 years of professional foreign trade service experience, understand the foreign trade process, and better serve our customers. For orthotics products, we can make corresponding plastic parts, which is mainly done through injection molds.

Orthotics are medical devices used to correct or support human bones and joints. Their plastic parts (such as brackets, protective gear, etc.) need to be produced through injection molds.

Product features: complex structure, ergonomic design needs to be considered, and materials must meet medical-grade standards.

Mold requirements: high precision, durability, easy maintenance, and meet customized production needs.

Key points of mold design:

1. Parting surface design: Determine the parting surface according to the shape of the product to ensure smooth demolding without affecting the appearance of the product.

Product structure analysis: Determine the position of the parting surface according to the shape of the orthosis (such as brackets, protective gear, etc.).

Symmetrical structure: For orthotics with strong symmetry, symmetrical parting surfaces can be used to ensure uniform force.

Complex structure: For orthotics with complex shapes, complex parting surfaces need to be designed according to the specific shape to ensure smooth demolding.

Functional area processing:

Fitting area: The parting surface should avoid the area where the orthosis is in direct contact with the human body to ensure comfort and functionality.

Connection parts: Set the parting surface near the connection parts (such as hinges, buckles, etc.) to ensure structural strength and precision.

Design of demoulding slope: Set an appropriate demoulding slope near the parting surface to facilitate product demoulding.

Vent setting: Set the venting groove near the parting surface to avoid defects caused by trapped air

2. Casting system: Use point gate or side gate to avoid defects caused by uneven flow of molten plastic.

Point gate: Suitable for small or thin-walled orthotic parts to ensure rapid filling of plastic.

Side gate: Suitable for larger or complex parts to reduce flow resistance.

Latent gate: Suitable for parts with high appearance requirements to avoid gate marks affecting beauty.

Gate position design:

Stay away from functional areas: The gate should avoid the area where the orthotic is in direct contact with the human body to ensure comfort and functionality.

Even distribution: For large orthotic devices, the gates should be evenly distributed to avoid local insufficient filling or stress concentration.

Runner size optimization:

Main runner: The diameter should be moderate to ensure smooth plastic flow.

Diverter: The cross-sectional shape can be circular or trapezoidal to reduce flow resistance.

Cooling and exhaust:

Cooling system: Set cooling pipes near the pouring system to shorten the molding cycle.

Exhaust groove: Set exhaust grooves near the gate to avoid defects caused by trapped air

3. Cooling system: Optimize the layout of cooling pipes, shorten the molding cycle, and prevent product deformation.

Pipeline layout optimization:

Uniform distribution: Cooling pipes should be evenly distributed near the cavity and core to ensure that the temperature of each part of the mold is consistent.

Avoid interference: The pipeline layout should avoid key parts such as gates and ejectors to ensure normal mold function.

Pipe size and shape:

Diameter selection: Select the appropriate pipe diameter according to the mold size to ensure the cooling effect.

Cross-sectional shape: Circular or special-shaped cross-sections can be used to improve cooling efficiency.

Cooling medium parameter control:

Temperature control: Adjust the cooling water temperature according to the characteristics of the plastic to prevent product deformation or cracking.

Flow control: Ensure that the cooling water flow is moderate to avoid local overheating or insufficient cooling

4. Exhaust system: Reasonably set the exhaust groove to avoid defects caused by trapped air

Exhaust groove position design:

Near the parting surface: Set the exhaust groove at the edge of the parting surface to ensure smooth exhaust of gas.

Complex area: Add exhaust grooves or exhaust holes in complex areas such as the fitting area and connection part of the orthosis.

Exhaust groove size optimization:

Depth and width: The depth of the exhaust groove is generally 0.02-0.05mm, and the width is 5-10mm, ensuring that the gas is discharged and the plastic does not overflow.

Length and quantity: Set a sufficient number and length of exhaust grooves according to the size and complexity of the product.

Exhaust hole design:

Location selection: Set the exhaust hole deep in the mold or in the area where gas is easy to gather.

Diameter control: The diameter of the exhaust hole is generally 0.5-1mm to ensure that the gas is discharged without affecting the product molding.

Exhaust gap utilization:

Ejector and core gap: The exhaust is assisted by the small gap between the ejector and the core.

Gap between insert and template: Set a small gap between the insert and the template to improve the exhaust effect
