Download or read book Intelligent Optimization of Mold Design and Process Parameters in Injection Molding written by Mehdi Moayyedian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes an effective framework for setting the right process parameters and new mold design to reduce the current plastic defects in injection molding. It presents a new approach for the optimization of injection molding process via (i) a new mold runner design which leads to 20 percent reduction in scrap rate, 2.5 percent reduction in manufacturing time, and easier ejection of injected part, (ii) a new mold gate design which leads to less plastic defects; and (iii) the introduction of a number of promising alternatives with high moldability indices. Besides presenting important developments of relevance academic research, the book also includes useful information for people working in the injection molding industry, especially in the green manufacturing field.
