Cycle time optimisation through conformal cooling

Maintaining a consistent temperature within a mould is critical for both robust manufacturing processes and high quality components. At the upcoming Fakuma, Sigma Engineering will be demonstrating the design of cooling systems using its Sigmasoft software. A case study with /H&B/ Electronic illustrates a cooling channel created using metal 3D printing technology.
