Standard cooling channels are typically straight or drilled and are often unsuitable for detailed and demanding part geometries. They can’t follow the twists and contours of modern moulds. When cooling can’t follow the geometry, it leads to uneven heat removal, longer cycle times – and ultimately, part distortion.
Conformal design solves this.
By using additive manufacturing, HTS creates custom-shaped cooling channels that follow the 3D contours of your die cavity – placing cooling exactly where it’s needed, just below the surface.
Traditional cooling works great — until it doesn’t.
Straight channels can’t follow the twists and contours of modern moulds. That’s where conformal design changes the game.
