About this listen
In this episode of First Mold Insight, we break down the high-stakes world of Hot Runner Mold Design. While cold runners are the traditional go-to, hot runners are the secret weapon for high-volume, high-precision manufacturing—if you know how to manage the complexity.
What we cover in this 5-minute deep dive:
The Core Mechanics: How manifold systems and nozzles maintain molten plastic for zero-waste production.
Design Essentials: The critical balance of thermal expansion and pressure drop.
The Bottom Line: When does the higher upfront investment of a hot runner system actually pay off?
Whether you're a mold designer or a product manager looking to optimize production cycles, this episode provides the technical clarity you need to make the right choice.
