The cavity of mold is exposed to high pressure during injection molding operation. Injection molded articles with deep depth are often demanded as design variety increases. 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 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 consisted with cantilever and two points bending while previous equation was modified from just cantilever bending. The validity of novel equation was verified through computer simulation.

Currently, injection molding process is a very useful technique that be applied to many field. And injection molding technology has been commercial based on many studies. However, there is no standard of surface roughness because there are few studies about surface technology of injection product. In addition, when designing the mold, changes of the core surface and the injection conditions are not considered. In this paper, change of surface according to the core and the injection conditions was compared with the surface of the injection product. Accumulation of these technologies will propose direction in mold design, manufacturing and injection molding technology.

Engineering database for CIM of injection mold production has been developed to manage design information and parameters of injection mold. The database has direct connection with product data management system and management database. Design specifications are generated in initial stage of mold design with integration of management information. Design parameters and bill of materials for mold base parts are generated during the CAD process and transferred to the manufacturing database and procurement system. Standard modules for parts and mold base are constructed using national standard and legacy data of industries. The engineering database provides important information route for CIM of injection mold design and production.

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.

The capability of net shaping for complex 3-D geometry, powder injection molding(PIM) is widely used for parts in the field of automotives, electronics and medical industry. Powder injection mold design for dental scaler tip, a component of medical appliance, was presented. In comparison with conventional machining process, powder injection molding has many advantages, specially in price and dimensional stability, for molding dental scaler tip. Product design and mold design for dental scaler tip was presented. Short shot experiment with scaler tip PIM mold and several defect (flash etc.) during injection molding process was discussed.

Automated design system of injection mold was developed in this study. Shapes of mold parts and mold base were defined according to standards of mold components and database modules of mold components were built. And then an automation program of mold design was developed by the user definition features, family table and Pro/Program of Pro/Engineer. The automatic production divided into mold base and standard parts was manipulated to manufacture parts meeting the design requirements and the selected parts were changed in size and shape to meet the design goals. The mold design was also carried out to have organic relations and be easy in case of a change to the mold part or mold base. As a result, it is possible to design the mold efficiently and conveniently modify the designed mold parts and base by using the developed automated design system in this study.

Injection mold is a manufacturing process used to produce the various parts of complicated shape at a low cost. Many factors such as, section shape, resin and mold temperature, filling time, etc, affect on the quality of injection part during injection molding process. The precent study, was carried out the shrinkage analysis of shoes injection mold to optimize runner shape based on filling and packing pressure with MoldFlow. Taguchi design and analysis of variance are used to optimize injection mold design.

The deformation of injection molding is seriously affected by injection molding conditions, such as melt and mold temperature and injection and holding pressure. In these conditions, the mold temperature is controlled by flowing coolant, which can be classified by the Reynolds number in the mold-cooling channel. In this study, the deformation of the automotive side molding according to the variation of the Reynolds number in the coolant was simulated by Moldflow. In the results, as the Reynolds number was increased, the mold cooling was also increased. However, when the Reynolds number exceeded a certain range, the mold cooling was not increased further. In addition to the Moldflow verification, the mold cooling by the coolant was simulated by CFX. The CFX results confirmed that the Reynolds number significantly influenced the mold cooling. The coolant, which has a high Reynolds number value, quickly cooled the mold. However, the coolant, which has a low Reynolds number value, such as 0 points, hardly cooled the mold. In an injection molding experiment, as the Reynolds number was high, the deformation of the moldings was reduced. The declining tendency of the deformation was similar to the Moldflow results.

In-mold Coating is a method that can simultaneously perform injection molding and surface coating in injection mold. The material used for coating is two-component polyurethane which is composed of polyol and isocyanate. L-type mixing head can be used to mix polyol and isocyanate uniformly, and inject them inside the mold cavity. The surface quality of the injection molded products by using in-mold coating depends on the mixing uniformity between main agent and hardener. In this study, flow analysis was performed to design a mixing head for uniform mixing of two-component polyurethane. Especially the effects of design parameters of mixing head on mixing uniformity and nozzle pressure were investigated. The parameters of mixing head were mixing chamber diameter, cleaning cylinder diameter, nozzle alignment angle in the horizontal and vertical direction, and cleaning piston position. It was found that optimal design values were mixing chamber diameter of 3.5 mm, cleaning cylinder diameter of 5.0 mm, nozzle horizontal/vertical alignment angles of 140°/160°, and cleaning piston position of 1.8 mm. The optimal values would be used to develop a two-component mixing head achieving an uniform mixing for in-mold coating.
