Advantages of digital library for manufacturing injection molding tool over individual fabrication

Abstract

This paper is an overview of the possibilities for the use of standard elements in modeling of injection tools. It covers the use of digital library and how this affects achieving greater efficiency, speed, and significant decrease of the number of errors. A comparison is made with personal individual production. By applying such a flexible system, we save time and money and a better quality is guaranteed. This type of manufacturing by using standardized elements from a digital library is a new type of system that improves overall manufacturing process of injection molding tools.
