Abstract(s)

Mold thermal performance has a direct influence on part properties, quality and defects, and mold productivity. Through additive manufacturing, inserts can be developed with features that respect the necessary high complex geometries the part requires and that increase thermal performance. Constructal design is explored as a design tool to produce guidelines for cooling channels development.
