QCY T1 Injection mould

Background
Workshop in plastic objects design. This university project consists of the mould design for the QCY T1 Bluetooth Pods. Not only are the features of the desired parts 3D modelled in the injection and ejector plates, but also every part necessary to complete the injection moulding cycle such as the ejector pins or the cooling channels (to name a few) are taken into account.
Core & Cavity Design
The start point of this project was 3D modelling the pods and case parts which would be plastic injected into two different moulds.
The plate moulds where the features of the parts are precisely machined, also fit the cooling channels necessary to cool down the plastic parts and the sliders needed to perform holes in the parts. Therefore, the parts' cavities and the material runners’ positions responded to such space requirements.
Once the cavities are filled, a holding pressure is maintained until the parts are sufficiently cold thanks to the cooling system, which helps the mould remain cold so the plastic solidifies almost as soon as it's filled. Afterwards, the ejector plate opens and the parts are ejected trough the pins, carefully located not to harm its structure.
