Cold forging is a method in which molding is performed at room temperature. It has a high material recovery rate and dimensional precision and produces excellent surface quality, and it is mainly used for the production of bolted or housing products. The lifespan of cold forging molds is generally determined by the wear of the mold, plastic deformation of the mold, and fatigue strength. Cold forging molds are frequently damaged due to fatigue destruction rather than wear and plastic deformation in a high-temperature environment as it is molded at room temperature without preheating the raw material and mold. Based on the results analyzed through FEM, an effective mold structure design method was proposed by analyzing the changes in tensile and compressive stresses on molds according to the number of molds and reinforcement rings and comparing the product geometry and mold stress using three existing mold models.

The finishing process for die and mold manufacturing is very important because it influences the final quality of products. Injection molds need higher quality surface than general purpose dies and molds. Conventional polishing can not make mold surface down to nanometer roughness efficiently because of their loading and glazing. This paper focused on the development of fixed abrasive pad using water swelling mechanism of polymer binder network. Self-conditioning was recognized as the long term polishing stabilization tool without any loading or glazing because water makes fixed abrasives free by swelling of the pad. Consequently, stable nano-polishing process has been applied on the injection mold, from the experimental results with polished surface roughness of Ra 15.1nm on STD-11 die steel.

The productive products are required diversification of product development and advanced for competitiveness. A lot of methods to fix architecture wrapping panels and stone materials are developed in domestic area very much. In this paper, it is very important that a fixing device of slate and molds were developed to reduce the production cost and improve safety. Therefore new model was suggested to reduce manufacturing cost and structure design and FEM analysis were performed to manufacture die press dies for mass production.

Micro pattern is applied to the light guiding plate(LGP) to enhance the uniformity of the brightness of the LCD. The micro cones are molded in intaglio on the surface of the LGP. The surface roughness of each cone was 40nm and 38nm in negative and positive die for laser ablation. In chemical etching, the surface roughness was 25nm, 24nm in negative and positive. And the surface roughness of negative and positive dies were 4nm and 5nm for LIGA-reflow process.

Utomatic finishing process requires the development of high efficient and precision abrasive machining method for die and molds. This study describes the evaluation of the finishing characteristics, such as sufrace roughness, topography and material removal depth, of the electrolytic chemical mixed abrasive machining method. Experimental setup is composed of 3 axis machining center, a newly developed finishing attachment with constant pressure, electrode and electrolytic bath. Finally, we achieved a successful result that surface roughness is 0.01 .mu. m Ra and material removal depth is 145 .mu. m after 100 times repeat-finishing using electrolytic (0.8A,30V) mixed abrasive (#400 CBN, #320 Sic) machining method.

Recently, the demand of high-productivity injection mold increases since the consumption of packaging grows in the world. Stack mold is composed of more than two molds and it has very high productivity and economic efficiency. In advanced country, stack mold which has was developed already but, in occasion of domestic mold industry, there is no study of stack mold. In this study, die and mold of in-mold labeling was developed for securing the technique of manufacturing high-productivity mold.

Metal 3D printing is very useful for making the injection molds containing complex conformal cooling channels. The most important issue of the 3D printed molds is cost and life cycle. However, powder bed fusion (PBF) methods are vulnerable to fatigue loading because of the presence of pores and rough surfaces. In the present study, the fatigue test was performed to obtain fatigue analysis input data for predicting the durability of a 3D printed injection mold core. The metal 3D printer used to manufacture the specimen was OPM250L from Sodick, and the metal powder material was maraging steel. The ultrasonic fatigue testing method was adopted for the fatigue test. A key advantage of the ultrasonic fatigue method is that $10^8{\sim}10^9$ long cycle test data or more could be obtained within a relatively short period. Based on the results of the experiment, the effect of heat treatment was negligible. However, there was an apparent difference in durability depending on the presence or absence of the surface treatment.

자동차용 방수커넥터는 외부로부터 방수가 필요한 전장부품인 와이어 하네스(Wire Harness)에 연결되어 있는 핵심기능부품이며 특히 와이어씰(Wire Seal) 부품은 고온, 다습, 저온, 먼지, 약품 등의 복합적 환경에서도 체결부 기밀성이 확보되어야 한다. 이러한 와이어씰은 최근 기존의 고상실리콘고무(Heat Cure Rubber)대신 친환경 소재이며 기계적 특성이 우수한 액상실리콘고무(LSR)를 적용하고 있다. 그리고 LSR용 와이어씰을 액상사출성형(Liquid Injection Molding)공정으로 제조할 경우 고상실리콘고무를 제조 하긴 위한 압축성형방식에 비해 사이클타임이 10배이상 빠르고 스크랩이 발생하지 않아 재료의 손실이 없으며 가류 및 생산을 위한 전후처리 과정이 필요 없기 때문에 원가 절감효과가 큰 이점이 있다. 하지만, 방수커넥터를 제조하기 위한 LSR 다캐비티 사출성형공정에서는 일정한 품질의 제품을 확보하기 위하여 캐비티간 균일한 경화온도를 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 캐비티간 온도 편차를 최소화 하기 위하여 카트리지 히터의 용량을 위치마다 다르게 설계한 후 열전달 해석과 최적화 모듈을 연계하여 최적의 카트리지 히터 용량을 빠르고 효율적으로 도출하였다. 최적화 해석결과 일정한 히터 용량을 적용한 경우에 비하여 캐비티간 온도 편차는 $13.1^{\circ}C$에서 $8.1^{\circ}C$로 감소 시켜 균일 경화를 위한 온도 편차 $10^{\circ}C$ 이내인 설계 기준을 만족시킬 수 있었다.

High-speed milling machine is being sold mainly in the market of die and mold industries, because it reduces machining time greatly as proportion to the spindle speed of machine tool. From the experimental milling tests, it has been cleared that the ball end mill is quite suitable for high speed milling and also tool wear reduces in higher speed milling condition. And a new milling concept with ultra high speed over 100, 000 rpm is proposed for solving the various problems such as NC cutter path generation and NC feed conformity etc.
