The foremost intent of this book is to present various alternatives available to the mold designer or decision maker when planning a mold for a new product or planning to increase the productivity for a product for which a mold exists. Whether on the large mass market or the custom molder scale, the book goes through the critical issues to be considered before "steel is cut". The reader will find answers to the most common - but nonetheless difficult - questions they encounter in industrial practice: How to approach selection of the mold features. How productivity affects mold selection. How selection of design features affects mold cost. How to reduce mold and product cost by simple design changes. How to approach estimating mold cost. Above all, the book emphasizes again and again that the ultimate goal is not to procure the lowest cost mold but to produce the lowest cost product.
Editorial Review by Vishu Shah, Consultek
In Selecting Injection Molds - weighing cost versus productivity, the authors Herbert Reese and Bruce Catoen emphasize time and again that the ultimate goal is not to produce the lowest cost mold but to produce the lowest cost part. The book presents the information in a new way which will appeal to everyone from novice to experienced, engineers, buyers, planners, designers and managers. The book answers the most frequently asked question “how to get the lowest possible cost tooling” by rephrasing the question to “how I can get the best product at the lowest cost for the expected production”. Mold cost, mold quality and cost of the product are inseparable and this is clearly shown throughout the book. This item is sent from one of our shipping locations in Ohio, United States.
