At Next Chapter, we’re redefining how plastics are molded by integrating conformal cooling with 3D printing into innovative tooling solutions. Our approach ensures uniform cooling, reduces cycle times, and enhances part quality, all tailored to your specific molding challenges.
Traditional cooling channels are limited to straight lines, often failing to reach complex geometries within a mold. This can lead to uneven cooling, resulting in warpage, sink marks, and longer cycle times. Conformal cooling channels, designed to follow the intricate contours of the mold, address these issues by providing uniform cooling throughout the part.
Using advanced metal additive manufacturing, Next Chapter designs and produces conformal cooling channels that are impossible to achieve with conventional machining. This technology allows for:
Whether you’re in automotive, medical, consumer goods, or packaging, Next Chapter’s conformal cooling solutions are customized to meet your industry’s specific requirements. Our team collaborates with you to design cooling strategies that enhance performance and efficiency.
Traditional cooling methods won’t solve tomorrow’s molding challenges. Next Chapter is already there solving tomorrow’s challenges with conformal cooling inserts engineered and produced with additive manufacturing technology.
