SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORMING A NON-LINEAR CHANNEL WITHIN A MOLDED COMPONENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for forming a non-linear channel through a -molded component (24). The system includes a forming device having a molding chamber(22), and a malleable core-out pin (10) positioned within the molding chamber. The malleable core-out pin includes at least one curve. Liquid plastic is injected into the molding chamber and flows around the malleable core-out pin to form the molded component. After the plastic solidifies and cools, the malleable core-out pin is removed from the molded component to form the non-linear channel through the molded component.
