Gate burn marks on PETG. Warpage on thin walls. Cycle times that won't come down no matter what you try. These are cooling problems — and straight-drilled channels can't fix them. Conformal cooling can.
Most engineers try changing materials, adjusting packing pressure, or tweaking gate design. But if the root cause is a hot spot your channels can't reach — none of that will fix it.
Conventional channels are limited to straight-drilled holes. Complex geometry means some surfaces are 15–30mm from the nearest channel — and those areas become hot spots.
Conformal cooling channels are 3D-printed. They follow the part contour at a constant 2–5mm distance. Every point on the mold surface is equidistant from a cooling channel.
Every number below is from a real production mold at our facility. Before = conventional cooling. After = our conformal cooling insert.
