  • Injection mold for ultra thin wall components
    Patent number: 10464244
    Abstract: An improved injection mold for forming an injection molded component. The injection mold includes a main cavity block and a main core block that are moveable with respect to one another. The main cavity block has a cavity block mating face that includes a first mold surface and the main core block has a core block mating face that includes a second mold surface. A plurality of induction heating coils extend within the main cavity block and a plurality of gas inlet channels extend through the main core block. The second mold surface includes a plurality ridges that cooperatively form a continuous gas flow path that is disposed in fluid communication with the plurality of as inlet channels. The continuous gas flow path follows a serpentine shape to provide even and uninterrupted gas flow across the second mold surface.
