Abstract
Cavity in the mold is exposed to high pressure during injection molding operation. Injection molded articles with deep depth are often demanded as design variety increases. Subsequently mold becomes weak and deformation increases as the mold depth increases. Thus the injection molds for deep depth articles should be designed to hold out high pressure or stress concentration and large deformation. Through this study, equation for mold design was examined and suggested novel method to determine equation for mold design with deep depth. Novel equation developed in this study was modified from beam theory considering cantilever and two points bending situation while previous equation was modified from just cantilever bending situation. The validity of novel equation was verified through computer simulations for various mold side and wall thickness.
