Designing the perfect mold is probably the most challenging task in plastics processing, especially in injection molding. The mold determines the quality, performance, and the profitability of a plastic part. Neither modern computer technology nor sophisticated CAE software can substitute the experience of the practicing mold engineer. This is why the Gastrow is so special to plastics engineers: 130 mold designs are presented in this extensively revised edition of the great classic in mold making. Each of the case studies was actually built, tested, and run successfully in production. The book is written by practitioners, describing problem solving in the design and the manufacture of injection molds. The wealth of information includes rules of thumb, design details, and practical tips invaluable for everyone involved in this field.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A knowledge bank for injection mold designers,
By Abhay Bhawalkar (New Delhi, INDIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Injection Molds: 130 Proven Designs (Hardcover)
this is a book to pick up ideas on designing a variety of injection molds. almost all possible ideas and configurations are covered in the book.the mold designs are elaborately detailed with a short write-up explaining the salient working features. a companion cd with an animation of the working of the mold would have been a welcome addition but overall the book is very useful for the experienced mold designer.
