It is very typical for molders to have their operators trim flash with hand tools at the molding machine between cycles. Many molders and OEMs seek out the use of batch processes including vibratory tumbling, cryogenic deflashing [4] or media blasting to remove unwanted flash from large batches of parts.
3D metal moulding, also referred to as metal injection moulding or (MIM), is used to manufacture components with complex geometries. The process uses a mixture of metal powders and polymer binders – also known as "feedstock" – which are then injection moulded. After moulding, the parts are thermally processed in order to remove the binding ...
Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mold, and removing the mold material after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries ...
A compound crown molding built up out of several individual trim elements Decorative pilaster of natural cherry hardwood topped with crown molding Crown molding may be a complex build-up of multiple trim elements, in this case built-out slightly above a window with short 90-degree returns The relief on this short 90-degree return of crown molding was back-cut with a coping saw
Atomized aluminum allows for the distribution of heat from the mold surface outward toward the edges. This typically preserves the surface quality for 50-100 cycles on a single epoxy mold. Due to the nature of oxygen entrapment in epoxy during the pouring and curing period it is common to have distortions and cavitation in the final injection mold.
When the pattern is to be removed from the sand mold, there is a possibility that any leading edges may break off, or get damaged in the process. To avoid this, a taper is provided on the pattern, so as to facilitate easy removal of the pattern from the mold, and hence reduce damage to edges. The taper angle provided is called the Draft angle ...

The dimensions of the optical elements that can be moulded depend on the size of the moulding machine. The precision glass moulding process is not limited to small optics. For the right element geometry, it can enable economical production of aspheric lenses up to 60 mm in diameter and more than 20 mm thick. [5] General design recommendations ...
