The rapid thermal response(RTR) molding is a novel process developed to raise the temperature of mold surface rapidly in the injection stage and then cool rapidly to the ejection temperature by air or water. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the effect of mold temperature, pressure and thickness of micro pattern molding and to provide a optimization of RTR injection molding for micro pattern from Moldflow simulation. Optimal minimum temperature and pressure was found without shortcut according to thickness. Filling percentage was influenced by glass transition temperature with the kinds of resin. Optimal temperature is slightly higher than glass transition temperature irrespectively of pressure, thickness, the kinds of resin in the micro pattern molding.

Generally, when the injection molds are made in advanced nations, the improvement of a quality and production rate is obtained by using CAE. In this paper, the methodology which is possible to reduce the cycle time of injection molding process is studies by using the cooling analysis with CAE(Moldmax). In case of changing the cooling system design with the analysis result of CAE, the manimum reduction of the cycle time runs into 30 percent. Finally, the average reduction of the cycle time is 17.8 percent.

Injection molding is representative process of plastic production. Most of numerical analyses for injection molding have been based on the Hele Shaw's approximation: two-dimensional flow analysis. The present work covers numerical analyses of injection molding using three-dimensional solid elements. The accuracy of the analysis results has been verified through some numerical examples in comparison with the various conditions. In this study, moldflow software was used to analyze the cooling analysis. The results of cooling analysis and testing catapult were compared for plastic products.

본 논문에서는 LFT와 같은 고점도 수지의 점도를 추정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 실제 사출공정에서의 점도를 추정함으로써 신뢰할 수 있는 점도데이터를 제공하기 위한 방법을 제시 하였다. 우선 금형 내에 캐비티 압력을 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 구성하였고, 이 시스템을 이용해서 실제 사출과정에서 나타나는 압력 변화를 측정하는 것이다. 상용화 된 CAE 프로그램(Moldflow)은 사출공정에서 캐비티 내부를 흐르는 수지의 압력변화를 모사할 수 있다. 만약, CAE D/B에 있는 수지의 점도 데이터가 정확하다고 가정하면, 실험에서 측정한 압력 프로파일과 CAE로부터 계산 된 압력 프로파일이 일치해야 한다. 이것이 실험값과 일치하지 않으면 가정한 값을 CAE D/B에 입력해서 일치할 때까지 반복함으로써 신뢰성 있는 점도를 추정 할 수 있다. 한편, LFT에 대하여 적용하여 최적화 된 점도 데이터도 추정할 수 있었다.

The light guide plate has become the major component for the backlight module in general information technology products (e.g. mobile phones, monitors, etc.). High speed injection molding has been adopted for thin walled LGP giving advantages such as weight, shape, size, and reduction in production costs. In the current study, the rheological characteristics of high liquidity plastic resin PC(HL8000) were measured using a capillary rheometer to improve the reliability of the numerical analysis for high speed injection molding. With the measured viscosity and PVT of PC(HL8000), numerical analysis of injection molding was conducted using the simulation software(Moldflow). Filling time and deflection were predicted and compared with those of traditional PC resins(H3000, H4000). The results show that PC(HL8000) has significantly different rheological characteristics during high speed injection molding. Hence proper properties of the resin should be used to improve the accuracy of numerical predictions.

Mold Analysis is crucial factors in the design of injection molding process. Since the qualify of products depends on filing, shrinkage and etc, the procedure of prediction through analysis in the design of injection molding process is needed. In many cases, this kind of analysis makes it possible to predict pressure pattern which determines the condition of injection molding process. Crystallinity is the factor that determines the shrinkage of products. The studies showed the factors that had been related to the degree of crystallinity, which were mostly Weight Reduction, mold temperature and melt temperature. Therefore, the objective of this study is to see the differences of the degree of crystallinity depending on the positions of foamed plastics. The procedure of this study is as the following. First, Simulate the pressure gradient in mold cavity that can produces specimen by using Moldflow. Secondly, produce specimen and measure the degree or crystallinity of each part of specimen by using XRD. Lastly, identify the sensitivity of conventional plastic and foamed plastic on pressure gradient by comparing the simulation and the results of measurement.

In this study, plastics were deformed after molding due to the characteristics of the material. The Taguchi experimental design method was utilized to find the molding conditions that minimized deformation of the plastic bezel to be assembled in an automotive steering wheel. The injection molding conditions applied to the experimental design method are the melt temperature, cavity plate coolant temperature, core plate coolant temperature, and cooling time. Each condition was divided into five levels, and a total of 25 experiments were planned. However, instead of performing 25 actual molding experiments, the injection molding analysis was performed using the Moldflow program, and the deformation values for each molding analysis were obtained. The optimal molding conditions were obtained from these deformation values. The actual injection molding experiment using optimal molding conditions was compared with the deformation amount of the current molded product. The deformation was measured using a precise 3D scanner. The deformation amount of the molded product under optimal molding conditions was 16.1% lower than the deformation amount of the current molded product.
