    The document summarizes a seminar presentation about improving the design of a mold cooling system. The goals are to improve productivity and part quality by achieving rapid, uniform cooling. Key design factors discussed include the size and arrangement of cooling channels, temperature and properties of the coolant, thermal properties of the molded polymer, and the geometry and heat transfer characteristics of the mold. Charts are presented analyzing the relationship between these factors and optimal cooling.
