New Approach to Mold Design: Optimization Strategy for Investment Casting of Medical Equipment Parts

The manufacturing accuracy of medical equipment parts is not only directly related to equipment performance, but also closely related to patient safety. In the complicated process of investment casting, mold design level has become a key factor affecting part quality. How to improve casting efficiency and part accuracy through mold optimization has become a focus of attention for investment casting manufacturers and customers.

Mold design should take into account both structural rationality and process adaptability. For the complicated shapes of medical equipment parts, such as micro catheter connectors, high-precision sensor housings, etc., the mold needs to adopt a parting surface optimization design to reduce the impact of the parting line on the surface of the parts. At the same time, by analyzing the filling path of the metal liquid through simulation software, adjusting the position and quantity of the gate, avoiding defects such as air porosity and shrinkage, and ensuring a compact internal structure of the part.

The material selection and heat treatment process also affect the lifespan of the mold. Choosing high wear-resistant and heat-resistant alloy steel, combined with vacuum quenching treatment, can improve the stability of the mold in high temperature and high pressure environments and extend its service life. In addition, the application of modular design concept enables the mold to quickly replace the core, adapt to the production needs of multiple varieties and small batches of medical equipment parts, and reduce manufacturing costs.

Every step of improvement in mold design, from structural optimization to material upgrading, is driving investment casting of medical equipment parts towards higher standards. In future, with the deep application of 3D printing technology and intelligent simulation, mold design will become more refined, providing more reliable part support for the medical equipment industry.
