    shapes are formed within the tool. Before the design can be finalized, the die-casting specialist must calculate process factors such as flow vectors, gate and runner design, fillets, radii, draft, metal velocity, and fill time. Die casters employ a number of techniques to maximize tool and component...

    . Compression molds cost about as much as molds for casting metal. Moreover, and even with custom layups, the cost of compression-molded products is on par with cast metals. Still, polyimide laminates have some shortcomings. For one, they can delaminate from fatigue. Furthermore, although the directional...
