Patented Innovation

PEAK3

The next level of molding!
Our patented mold optimizes steel temperature control by fast thermal water cycling,
bypassing molded-in stress and redefining part quality at lower cycles.

Appearance

  • Improved texture detail
  • Reduce significantly (and most times eliminate) sinks, warpage, flow lines and knit lines
  • Elimination of painting or secondary finishing for flow lines/knit lines

Physical Properties

  • Reduces/eliminates molded-in stress
  • Improves strength by a 4 to 7 multiple
  • Increases part strength for a given cross section
  • Increase in strength enables part weight reduction
  • 20%-30% glass filled material buries the glass for cosmetics

Part Design

  • Greater freedom and flexibility of the part design, allowing structural components that would normally create appearance or processing problems
  • Greatly reduces parts breakage, although lighter yet stiffer and stronger parts
  • Minimizes part draft requirements
  • Increased flow distance allowing for greater flexibility of the number of gates and their locations

Benefits

  • Material savings of 10%-15% due to wall thickness reduction
  • Current injection mold steels are used in mold construction
  • Current injection molding material is used
  • Cycle reduction time of 20% - 30%
  • Elimination of painting cost (exception is metallic’s) for cosmetics
  • Although no modification of presses required, can reduce injection pressure and press clamping pressure up to 30%
  • Follow up service includes quoting, placing, following engineering changes
  • Molds created for this process can be run conventionally without modification
  • This process used with functional parts will achieve strength or weight reduction
