Glass micro molding process is the most suitable process for fabricating high precision glass microlens amy at low cost. A new glass micro molding process was proposed. Tungsten carbide mold was fabricated by imprinting and sintering process to overcome the difficulties of the conventional process. In the glass micro molding process, process conditions such as processing temperature and compression force were changed. Geometrical properties of the replicated glass microlens array were measured and compared at variety process conditions. The condition of glass micro molding process was optimized. The experimental result showed that developed process was effective to produce a glass microlens array.

In this study, the aspherical lens for optical communications produced not with an one-step pneumatic type of external pressurization system (existed GMP process) but a constant weight of self-loaded mold put up to upper core. So the lens is molding with self-loaded weight molding and it calls Weight Molding process. In self-loaded molding process, we measured changes of center thickness molding lenses with each variable molding temperatures and time to find the effect of center of lens thickness to search key factors. As experimental results, the center thickness reach to targeted lenses step time value was changed drastically and it depends by molding temperature. If the molding temperature gets higher, the targeted lens that is reaching to the center thickness step time value was decreased. To find the effect of life improvement on mold core by imposing the self-loaded molding process we molded with GMP(Glass molding press) method and self-loaded molding method for 9,000 times and measured the lenses shape accuracy and surface roughness to evaluate the core life. As a result the self-loaded molding method core has 2,000 times longer that GMP (Glass molding press) method. If we adopt self-loaded molding method of the optical aspherical lens molding in the future, we expect that it would reduce the expense of changing the molds by molding core life improvements.

Refrigerator glass shelves are manufactured by Insert Injection Molding. The current process of injection of glass into the mold induces movement of the core, on urethane springs. Defects in the product can result from too low a force being transmitted from the springs. To solve this problem, the force on the moving core and the injection molding pressure were subjected to numerical analysis. Based on this, the number of urethane springs as well as their hardness was changed to improve the situation. The number of springs was changed from 6 to 4. The diameter of the springs was increased from ${\emptyset}75$ to ${\emptyset}100$, and the hardness was increased from 70 (shore A) to 90 (shore A). These improvements caused the force on the molding core to increase by approximately 65,442 N. The proportion of defects decreased by 66%.

This study aimed at identifying and optimizing the heating-condition parameters that cause surface defects during the compression molding of chalcogenide glass (GeSbSe) lenses through thermal analysis. We derived the optimal heating conditions for molding chalcogenide glass lenses through thermal analysis and analyzed the surface defects. As a result, we observed a significant reduction in surface defects, which verified the analysis process.

Powder injection molding (PIM), which combines the advantages of powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding technologies, has become one of the most efficient methods for the net-shape production of both metal and ceramic components. In this work, plasma display panel glass bodies are prepared by the PIM process. After sintering, the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process is adopted for improving the density and mechanical properties of the PIMed glass bodies. The mechanical and thermal behaviors of the prepared specimens are analyzed through bending tests and dilatometric analysis, respectively. After HIPing, the flexural strength of the prepared glass body reaches up to 92.17 MPa, which is 1.273 and 2.178 times that of the fused glass body and PIMed bodies, respectively. Moreover, a thermal expansion coefficient of $7.816{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ is obtained, which coincides with that of the raw glass powder ($7.5-8.0{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$), indicating that the glass body is fully densified after the HIP process.

Recently, GMP(Glass Molding Press) process is mainly used to produce aspheric glass lenses. Because glass lens is heated at high temperature above Ty (yielding point) for forming glass, the quality of aspheric glass lens is deteriorated by residual stresses which are generated in a aspheric glass lens after forming. Before this study, as a fundamental study to develop forming conditions for progressive GMP process, compression, strain relaxation and thermal conductivity tests were carried out to obtain the visco-rigid plastic, the visco-elastic and thermal properties of K-PBK40 which is newly developed and applied for precision molding glass material, In this study, using the experimental results we obtained, a glass lens forming simulation in progressive GMP process was carried out and we could forecast the shape of deformed glass lenses and residual stresses contribution in the structure of deformed glass lenses after forming.

Nowadays, flat-shaped cover glass is widely used for mobile devices. However, for its good design and convenience of use, curved cover glass has been demanded. Thus, many companies have tried to produce curved cover glass through the shaving technique, but the production efficiency is very low. Therefore, the molding technique has been adopted to increase the efficiency for the curved-glass production system. For a glass-molding system, several heating blocks are installed, and the flat cover glass is sequentially heated and molded. The production time for the cover glass is very different depending on the heating conditions; thus, the prediction of the production time for different heating conditions should be needed. Therefore, in this study, the computations were performed with different heating conditions (uniform and non-uniform) in the present cover glass-molding machine. For uniform and non-uniform heating conditions, the simple correlation between the heating time and the heater capacity and the heating time to achieve higher durability can be suggested, respectively.

Remarkable progress had been made in both technology and production of optical elements including aspheric lens. In the past, precision optical glass lenses were produced through multiple processes such as grinding and polishing, but mass production of aspheric lenses requiring high accuracy and having complex profile was rather difficult. Against such a background, the high-precision optical GMP process was developed with an eye on mass production of precision optical glass pasts by molding press. This GMP process can produce with precision and good repeatability special form lenses such as for cameras, video cameras, aspheric lenses for optical items. In this study, Design Of Experiment(Taguchi method) was adopted to find a tendency of molding conditions that influence formability. Three main factors for molding conditions were selected based on pressure at pressing stage and temperature, pressure at cooling stage. Also, the DOE was carried out and the interference patterns were measured to evaluate the formability of GMP process. From the results, it was found that the cooling pressure is the most sensitive parameter for progressive GMP process.

Due to the lighter weight and the higher freedom of design than metals plastics have been spot lighted in a wide number of applications. In the making plastic parts injection-molding process is one of the most general methods. During the injection molding process, filling-packing-cooling process, plastics have exposed to several external stresses and then plastic parts injected have molding effects which are known as anisotropic properties, orientation, and residual stress. Those molding effects are often shown as unexpected phenomena which are warpage, strength decrease, stiffness reduction, etc. In case of glass fiber filed plastics these effects are more significant than the ufilled ones. Therefore the molding effects have to be considered in the parts design using glass fiber reinforced plastics. We have developed the interface program in order to consider the molding effects in structural analyses of plastic parts using Heirarchical structural searching and layer handling in direction of thickness algorithm. The advantages of this program are the freedom of FE mesh between molding and structural analysis, the variable layer to the thickness direction of parts and the conveniences of data transferring and checking

To prevent the damage of glass lens molds and deterioration of glass lenses using in progressive GMP process, a thermal stress and a deformation of the glass lens molds at forming temperature should be considered in the design step. In this study, as a fundamental study to develop a multi cavity mold used in an aspheric glass lens molding, a heat transfer and a thermal stress analysis were carried out for the case of one cavity glass lens mold used in progressive GMP process. Finally, using analysis results, we estimated the thermal stress in a glass lens mold and predicted a modified height of guide ring that determines the forming height of a glass lens.
