🔹 Why Gate Design Matters in Injection Molding
The gate is a small but critical feature in every injection mold—it’s the entry point where molten plastic flows into the cavity.
The type, size, and location of the gate all influence:
✅ Flow pattern – affects how well the cavity fills
✅ Cycle time – smaller gates cool faster
✅ Surface quality – poor placement may cause blemishes
✅ Part strength – improper flow can create internal stress
From pin gates to edge gates to hot runners, each option has its place—depending on part geometry, material, and quality requirements.
Smart gate design = fewer defects, faster production, better parts.
