Cascades: Advanced Cooling Efficiency for Injection Molds
Cascades are specialized components in mold cooling systems, designed to distribute coolant evenly across complex mold geometries, ensuring consistent temperature regulation during injection molding. By enhancing cooling uniformity, cascades minimize part defects, reduce cycle times, and improve overall production efficiency.
Our precision-engineered cascades are perfect for demanding applications in industries like electronics, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing.
Key Features & Benefits
✔️ Channels coolant flow to regulate mold temperature effectively.
✔️ Reduces thermal gradients to prevent part defects like warping or sink marks.
✔️ Shortens cooling cycles, boosting overall production efficiency.
✔️ Ensures consistent part quality in high-volume production runs.

Achieves a mirror-like finish (Ra ≤ 0.1 μm) for smooth coolant flow.
Anti-Corrosion Treatment
Protects against degradation in wet environments.
Thermal Barrier Coatings
Optional coatings to enhance heat resistance.
How to Choose
Select the ideal cascade with these considerations:
Mold Complexity
Use larger cascades for intricate cooling channels.
Coolant Flow Rate
Match cascade size to your system’s flow capacity.
Temperature Needs
Opt for copper alloys for high heat dissipation.
Environmental Factors
Choose stainless steel for corrosive coolant exposure.

End-to-End Services
From initial design and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis to final mold assembly and testing, Fecision handles every aspect of the mold component manufacturing process.
Process for Manufacturing Mold Components
Manufacturability Evaluation
The initial step involves assessing the manufacturablity of the mold component. If it's deemed feasible, we proceed with production immediately. If not, we will provide a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report to the customer. If necessary, mold flow analysis is performed to simulate the flow of molten material within the mold.
Material Selection
Next, choose the right material for mold parts. Common materials for mold components include steel alloys, aluminum, stainless steel, specialty alloys, etc. If needed, a prototype may be made using rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing, CNC machining) to test the design for fit, function, and manufacturability.
Mold Components Manufacturing
Once the design and materials are finalized, the mold component undergoes CNC machining. If required, the mold component may undergo heat treatment, depending on the material and intended application. For certain components, surface hardening methods such as nitriding or carburizing are applied to increase wear resistance.
Shipping
For molds with multiple components, such as multi-cavity molds or molds with inserts, the individual components are carefully assembled into the final mold system. Once our engineers confirm the product meets all requirements, it will be shipped. We maintain ongoing communication to ensure the customer is fully satisfied with the product they receive.
