In the manufacture and processing of large plastic materials, product quality is tested and verified through several techniques such as injection processing, residual stress through injection molding and shrinkage. With regards to the injection molding process, common problems such as inconsistent density is seen when different points of the product are discovered to have varying thickness levels. Sink marks in product are then evident. This occurs when there is poor molding conditions caused about by poor runner and packaging systems incorporated into the process. We designed the runner system which is possible balanced filling to cavities using CAE program $Moldflow^{TM}$ and then obtained optimal processing conditions by Taguchi's Robust Design technique.

In this paper, in order to improve the formability and quality of the injection molded parts in the molds for molding the motorcycle rear cowl injection molded parts with different volumes at the same time, the flow of the molded parts is changed through the injection molding CAE analysis by changing the gate position, runner size and position. It is to find the optimum gate position, the diameter of the runner and the position where the balance is equal. The molded article formed by the optimization resulted in the uniformity of the molten resin at the same time at the corner of the product, thereby maintaining the flow balance favorable for mass production at lower injection pressure.

Most of numerical analyses for injection molding have been based on the Hele Shaw's approximation: two-dimensional flow analysis. In some cases, that approximation causes significant errors due to loss of geometrical information as well as simplification of the flow characteristics along the thickness direction. 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 classical shell-based approach. The Proposed approach is then applied to predict product defects and to improve flow characteristics for a precision electronics part. In addition, design of experiment has been utilized in order to find the optimal process conditions for better product quality.

The production technology is the basic of manufacturing for various materials and components. This technology can influence the quality and productivity of leading export products such as automobile, ship, and electronic device. Besides, the production technology is very useful to apply to other manufacturing fields and has a great ripple effect. However, it is very difficult to make the production technology into standardization and knowledge-based database because the production technology is dependent in hands-on experience. In this study, the knowledge-sharing platform for the molding & forming technology which is a branch of the production technology is introduced. This platform is web-based system and has the knowledge authoring tool technologies storage, semantic database, and web portal service. Therefore, the molding & forming technology can be shared and spread easily by the knowledge-sharing platform.

Weld line in injection molded part is one of the defects in injection molding process. Weld line deteriorates not only appearance quality but mechanical property. In this study, ABS and PP were used as experimental materials. And weld line length, depth and strength have been examined according to the injection molding conditions. As the results of experimental studies, weld line length increased as flow rate increases for all materials. And the flow rate is most influenced to the creation of weld line length. Also weld line strength increased, as flow rate and melt temperature increase for all materials. The whole experiment results was similar to CAE analysis results.

사출 성형 공정은 저비용으로 고품질의 제품을 대량으로 얻을 수 있는 제조 공정이지만. 성형품의 품질에 영향을 주는 인자의 수가 너무 많아 모든 경우에 대하여 실험을 수행하는 것은 시간적, 경제적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 최근에 시뮬레이션 도구를 활용하여 이러한 실험을 보조하고 있고, 실험계획법 및 여러 가지 최적화 기법들이 다루어지고 있다. 인자수가 많은 경우 각 입력인자 간의 교호작용 등도 고려하면서도 실험 횟수를 줄이는 기법으로 정립된 실험계획법을 적용하여 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 이용한 모의 실험 데이터를 도출하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 주변의 잡음에서도 강건한 설계를 할 수 있는 다구찌 기법을 사출 성형 공정에 적용하여 최적의 사출 성형 공정 조건을 나타내었다.

The demand for the precision rubber products has been rapidly increasing with the recent growth of industries. And the requirement for the productivity and the quality calls out for the injection molding machines with the precision machining ability as well as the high productivity. Especially modern automobile industry is in urgent need of developing injection molding machines for the high quality rubber products with high productivity. And the inability of the domestic companies to meet the standards causes importing foreign machines and as a result spending good amount of dollars. It is extremely important to develop competitive machines and strengthen the infrastructure of the related industries. In this paper the functions and the structure of a automatic multi-nozzle injection molding machine has been studied to set up a proper test system for the precision rate and the reliability of the machines, which can help build the machines to meet the request of the industry.

Gas assisted injection molding (GAIM) 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, adoptions of GAIM may cause unexpected defects since it requires many subtle design factors such as resin shot size, delay time and gas injection pressure, which wouldn't be considered in conventional injection molding process. Therefore, experiences applying GAIM should be collected and examined in order to establish design rules of the new technique. The purpose of this paper is to summarize developing cases of three automotive interior parts such as instrument panel, map pocket folding and center facia side panel so that possibilities and limitations of GAIM were examined. As a result, it is necessary to consider characteristics of GAIM at the initial stage of part design in order to obtain various advantages of the GAIM process without occurring severe defects, which would increase time and cost required to the part development.
