Abstract
A study on digital processes of injection mold in reverse engineering are presented. Reverse engineering is useful fur several cases, where user has no geometry information of object. Laser scanner is used to obtaining 3D coordinates of object. Sequences to process cloud data are described; sampling to reduce number of points, sorting to adjust the point order, and fitting to curve and surface, and so on. Split slide structure of mold is used fur undercut part and high viscosity material. Flow of injection molding are analysed to correct cooling channel and simulate molding conditions. NC tool paths are generated to carve core and cavity. The processes are performed in digital data for reduction of lead time and consecutive geometry data.
