German term

Drucklinie

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering injection moulding
The context is "... um optische Mängel, wie z.B. Drucklinien, zu beseitigen."
The text is about improving the injection moulding process by means of a hardware/software system with sensors on the mould.
Thus the "Drucklinien" are a type of visual defect on the injection moulded part.
Proposed translations (English)
1 weld / knit / meld line

Discussion

Arne Marko (asker) May 10, 2017:
The text is about injection moulding; "weld line" fits well, that is what I ended up using.
Kim Metzger May 5, 2017:
Pressure or print?
philgoddard May 5, 2017:
What's wrong with "pressure lines"?

weld / knit / meld line

In manufacturing, the Weld line or Knit line or Meld line is the line where two flow fronts meet when there is the inability of two or more flow fronts to "knit" together, or "weld", during the molding process. These lines usually occur around holes or obstructions and cause locally weak areas in the molded part.[1] Knit lines are considered molding defects, and occur when the mold or/and material temperatures are set too low: thus the materials will be cold when they meet, so that they do not bond perfectly. This can cause a weak area in the part which can cause breakage when the part is under stress. There are many Computer Aided Engineering tools that are available that can predict where these areas could occur.

Das dreidimensionale Drucken zählt aufgrund der ausgereiften Inkjet-Druckköpfe zu den schnellsten additiven Verfahrensprinzipien.... Aufgrund der Korngröße der verwendeten Pulver weisen gedruckte Bauteile allerdings stets eine raue Oberfläche mit sichtbaren Drucklinien auf. Diese können durch eine mechanische Nachbehandlung reduziert werden. Aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten zielen deshalb auf die Verbesserung der mechanischen Qualitäten gedruckter Bauteile ab. Durch Arbeiten am Fraunhofer-Institut für Betriebsfestigkeit und Systemzuverlässigkeit (LBF) in Darmstadt konnten neue Materialsysteme und druckbare Tinten soweit verbessert werden, dass beim dreidimensionalen Drucken ähnliche mechanische Festigkeiten wie beim Spritzgießen erzielt werden
