ABSTRACT

Taking the special-shaped plastic part as the research object, experimental study and numerical simulation of injection molding process were performed using numerical simulation technology, orthogonal experiment method, software Moldflow, injection machine and coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The better feeding system and optimal molding process parameters were proposed and qualified products were produced. The research results show that the efficiency of the simulation guidance would be significantly improved by combining the CAE technology and production experience.
