3.0 Mold Drawing by 3D Designed

3D MOLD DESIGN FOR SIMULATION

The analysis by 3D mold design
『Mold is the most significant part for diecasting!』
3D mold drawing leads to an effective analysis as further details shown below :

(1) Flow Simulation (2) Solidification Simulation (3) Mold Temperature Simulation

In doing so, we can eliminate defect before making mold
4.0 Mold Flow Simulation

DC FLOW SIMULATION

Analysis by 3D mold design for Main Gate design

We make several possible choice for Main gate design simulation to find most optimized mold design for aluminum run characteristic.

4.1 Mold Flow Simulation

DC FLOW SIMULATION

Analysis of 3D mold design for aluminum flow simulation
We make several possible choices for Main gate design simulation to find most optimized mold design for aluminum run characteristic.
4.2 Mold Solidification Simulation

DC SOLID SIMULATION

Analysis for solidification
Unsolidified area is displayed in blue color while isolated unsolidified area is marked in red color. Both areas is unable to supply aluminum effectively, resulting in shrinkage porosity.
4.3 Remaining Air Simulation

DC REMAINING AIR SIMULATION

4.4 Mold Temperature Simulation

DC MOLD TEMPERATURE SIMULATION

Analysis for Mold temperature
To balance mold temperature is very important to prevent overheat inside mold and also to maintain and keep die casting condition to be stable.
(1) Continuous cooling in green, (2) Timer controlled cooling in red and (3) Jet cooling are used

: Timer control

Analysis for Mold temperature balance in color identification
To visually check the balance of temperature inside an overheated area of mold can be identified through the color of temperature below. This potentially helps to find out the problem of temperature that consistently occurred during the shot cycle of the first injection until the process of opening mold.

4.5 Summary of Casting Simulation

DC MOLD SIMULATION

Design Review to customer
After summarizing the result of analysis performed by casting simulation, We propose design review to customer before we kick off the fabrication of mold as below to achieve the best design for cast quality :
(1) Reduce material (2) Add squeeze pin (3) Additional over flow (4) Additional gate

8.0 Guaranteed by 3D Scanner / CT Scanner

PRODUCT GUARANTEED BY SIMULATION SOFT AND CT SCAN



Adstefan SCAN
SHIN-EI always examines our product with mold simulations to achieve designing meticulous casting features and to ensure that our design is robust before fabricating mold.

Before production, our engineer uses industry leading gate and runner design techniques to determine the best point to inject molten metal into a die, ensuring that you receive finished parts with the best density and structural features possible.


CT SCAN
SHIN-EI utilizes the CT scan to ensure internal quality of our product which helps to eliminate porosity. We also scrutinize the aluminum infrastructure for analysis, improvement, and our continuous KAIZEN.

SHIN-EI utilizes 3D scanner Technology for precise accuracy to improve production quality output and to prevent production downtime.
