【Mold Laboratory】
Supervising Instructor: Prof. Hong-Yao Guo
Location: Room B02, Mechanical Engineering Building
【Laboratory Introduction】
This laboratory serves as the core hub within the university for advancing precision mold development and advanced manufacturing technologies, integrating hands-on teaching, project R&D, and interdisciplinary applications. Its scope covers two core domains: "Plastic Molds" and "Stamping Dies." By leveraging top-tier CNC Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and CAE moldflow analysis techniques, the laboratory guides students in accurately transforming theoretical designs into high-performance physical molds.
Ultra-Precision, Overcoming Machining Limits: Featuring CNC Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) technology, it overcomes the limitations of conventional milling cutters through non-contact discharge to specialize in sharp inner corners and ultra-hard conductive materials. Achieving extremely high machining precision, its surface roughness can reach a mirror-like quality of 0.25 μm/Ra.
Digital Twin, Cyber-Physical Integration & Verification: Combining CAE moldflow analysis software with plastic injection molding machines, digital simulations are conducted prior to mold opening and subsequently verified through actual injection molding, substantially optimizing mold design and molding quality.
High-End Manufacturing, Supporting Complex Curved Surfaces: Equipped with machining capabilities for various mold manufacturing processes and complex curved precision components, fully supporting faculty and students in high-quality practical capstone projects and forward-looking project development.
