| Summary: | This paper presents the design of plastic injection mould for producing a plastic product.
The plastic part was designed into two different types of product, but in the same usage
function. One part is using clip function and another part is using tick function. In the
computer-aided design (CAD), two plastic parts were drawn in 3 dimension (3D) view by
using Pro-Engineer (Pro-E) parametric software. In the computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM), Pro-Manufacturing from Pro-E parametric software was used to develop the
machining program. For mould design, the product was designed into two changeable
inserts to produce two different types of plastic product in one mould base. Before
proceeding to injection machine and mould design, this part was analysed and simulated
by using Mold Flow or Part Advisor software. From the analysis and simulation we can
define the most suitable injection location, material temperature and pressure for
injection. The predicted weld lines and air trap were also found and analysed. |
