The injection molding process is a one of the most efficient techniques for manufacturing plastic parts of complex shape at low cost. In injection molding, molten plastic material is injected into the mold and cooled. Selection of molding conditions greatly affects the quality of molded parts. In this case study, we attempted to optimize the injection molding condition for a cooling filter using Taguchi experimental design methodology. The injection molding experiments were carried out using the Moldflow simulation software.

So far, an alternator pulley has been formed by cold forging and casting with a metal due to the necessity of its high strength. Various advantages such as the light weight, the low cost, and the high productivity can be obtained by the injection molding process using engineering plastics. Engineering plastics have an excellent performance in the characteristics off strength vs. weight, a good forming ability and a productivity. The object of this study is to develop an alternator pulley, which has been made with a metal, using the injection molding process based on Taguchi methods. A sink mark is considered as a characteristic parameter to improve the quality. The FEM Simulation CAE tool, Moldflow, is used for the analysis of injection molding process.

Automobile door-handle is assembled with three parts that are base, skin and cover. Over-molding processing makes assembly of the base and skin. The skin part that was made by PVC polymer has various thickness. Plastic injection molding simulation of part including significant changed thickness as skin is an inaccuracy comparing with real injection molding. To solve this problem, two commercial flow prediction software that are Moldflow MPI and MAPS 3D were used in this study. Simulations were conducted for three types mesh. Taguchi method was applied for simulation experiments. It will be need to compare with simulation results and real over-molding behavior in the near future.

Light guide plate is one of most important components which are composed of back light unit, affecting the quality and performance of LCD. Average brightness and uniformity are especially key factors for designing the light guide unit. These qualities are affected and controlled by the pattern being attached to the back of light guide unit. In order to obtain high brightness and uniformity the optimized pattern design is adopted for LGP. In this study, optimized molding condition for LGP with 0.4 mm thickness was obtained by using the Moldflow simulation software and the optimized pattern for better brightness uniformity was designed for the thickness of the 0.4 mm by trial and error method. The brightness was measured for the different LGP thicknesses and the residual stress analysis was performed for 0.4 mmthickness by the photoelasticity and the results are compared with 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm thickness.

Gas-assisted injection molding is an innovative low-pressure injection molding technique that can provide numerous benefits such as reduced part warpage, excellent surface quality without sink marks, low injection pressure, and greater design flexibility. However, the adoption of gas-assisted injection molding may cause unexpected defects if the gas channel design is not conducted properly. The objective of this paper is to broaden the understanding of gas-assisted injection molding by summarizing the design procedures and experimental results of the gas-assisted injection molding of a 17" flat monitor front cover. The gas channels were designed by using Moldflow(MF/GAS) simulations and a 450 ton injection molding machine with a 5 stage pressure control gas kit was used in the experiments.

The purpose of this study is to build effective cooling circuit design in injection mold to improve glass fiber reinforced laptop computer cover plastics' transcription and gloss. Moldflow Insight and Ansys CFD CAE program used to verify efficiency and the experiment mold is precision machined and brazing soldered to make three-dimension cooling channel. The temperature of mold in injection test are fixed to $80^{\circ}C$ and $160^{\circ}C$. The result of this experiment is the improved surface quality of plastics with 85% improvement of transcription in high temperature mold.

Sinks occurring in the rib portion of the testing product for the unpainteds are fatal defects at surface quality. In this study, we carried out moldflow analyses for several factors that affect the sinks. The result tells us large important effective factors on sinks by analyzing sink marks estimate. We expect practical use as reference for performing analysis or manufacturing products with rib designs and injection moldings which minimize sink-marks surrounded ribs.

사출성형은 플라스틱 제품의 대량생산에 적합한 제조기술이지만 사출성형공정에서 사출품의 휨 변형이 항상 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자동 정제분류 포장시스템의 호퍼 제품을 기존의 ABS 수지에서 PP 수지로 변경하는 경우에 생기는 사출품의 휨 변형을 최소로 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. Moldflow 소프트웨어를 이용하여 호퍼의 사출성형 공정을 해석하여 호퍼의 휨 변형을 최소로 하기위한 게이트의 형상과 리브 형상을 결정하였으며 실 제품의 사출성형을 통해 사출성형 해석결과의 타당성을 입증하였다. 결정성 수지인 PP 재료의 사출성형 시에는 유동선단의 면적이 넒은 경우가 유리하며 리브를 보강하는 것이 휨 변형을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 최적설계기법을 적용하여 Cross-WLF 모델의 계수 값을 효과적으로 추정하는 것이다. 사출성형 공정의 해석에서 주로 사용되는 Cross-WLF 점도 모델은 온도와 전단율의 영향이 민감한 고분자의 유변학적 특성을 잘 모사하는 모델로 널리 사용되고 있다. 정확한 폴리머 유변학적 특성 예측을 위해서는 정확한 Cross-WLF 계수 값의 추정은 필수이다. 실험적으로 획득한 데이터의 점도 값과 Cross-WLF의 계수 값을 설계변수로 가정하여 계산한 점도 값이 일치한다면, 최적화 기법을 통해 정의된 Cross-WLF모델이 실험 데이터를 정확하게 모사하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 Cross-WLF 모델을 통해 계산된 점도와 실험 데이터의 차이를 최소화하는 목적함수로 Cross-WLF의 계수 값을 설계변수로 정의하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 최적화기법의 타당성으로 확인하기 위하여 몇개의 소재를 대상으로 하여 Moldflow에서 제공하는 Cross-WLF 계수 값과 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 획득한 계수 값를 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한, Moldflow Plastic Lab의 실제 측정 데이터를 활용하여 추정한 결과 제안한 방법의 효율성 및 타당성을 입증하였다.
