Mold heating is an essential process in plastic injection molding. Raising the temperature of the mold before injecting liquefied plastic can ease the mold-filling process. A cooling channel can be used to transport high-temperature fluids for this purpose, such as hot water or oil.

- Injection molding is a popular process for producing plastic parts, involving five main steps: mold closure, filling, packing, cooling, and product ejection.
- A method to control mold temperature effectively is through a cooling channel that uses hot and cool water, which is simple and cost-effective.
- This study compares traditional cooling channels to a conformal cooling-channel design, revealing that the conformal method achieves better heating, with higher average temperatures and improved efficiency according to simulation results verified by experiments.
