Plastic parts are molded for the purpose of mass production in multi-cavity system. Therefore, designer is usually designing molds that has geometrically balanced runner lay-out for filling balance at each cavities. Although, mold is manufactured with geometrically balanced runner lay-out, there are actually filling imbalances in cavities. These filling imbalances phenomenon are caused by complicated interaction between melt and mold. In this study, based on previous studies for filling imbalances in cold-runner mold, filling imbalances in hot-runner mold were investigated by CAE and injection molding experiments. ABS, PMMA as amorphous polymer and PA, PP as crystalline polymer were used to compare the filling imbalances. The filling imbalances decreased as injection rate increased without regard to kind of resins and were lower than the one of cold-runner.

The design of injection molded polymeric parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. An interactive computer-based design system is developed in order to realize the concept of rational design for the productivity and quality of mold making. The knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge-base module for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge for feature synthesis performance analysis and feature-based geometric modeling. A knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

Polymethyl methacrylate is commonly used in the outer lens of automotive rear lamps. However, if the lens warps above the allowable limit, it may lead to faulty connection with the housing, and failure of the assembly. This study investigated the effects of gate diameter and cooling line distance in the mold design for automotive outer lens. The optimal gate diameter and cooling line distance to minimize the warp of the outer lens were derived as 3.0 mm and 50-60 mm respectively, and the cooling temperature to minimize warp was shown to be $60-80^{\circ}C$ (mold surface temperature $48-67^{\circ}C$). A higher cooling temperature may somewhat mitigate the warp, but is undesirable because it may cause injection molding problems, such as sinks. A mold was constructed matching the optimal design and the produced lens properties, particularly the degree of warp, were comparable with the CAE predictions.

Moldflow사의 CAE 해석 프로그램인 MPI (Moldflow Plastics Insight)를 이용하여 PP(polypropylene)에 talc 20%가 들어간 수지를 사용한 자동차 공기 청정기 상부 덮개의 최적 공정을 찾았다. 핀 게이트가 하나인 기존 시스템을 CASE-1, 두 개로 새로운 공정을 CASE-2로 디자인하여 두 공정에 대한 유동 발란스 등을 비교하였다. CASE-2는 충진 시간이 더 짧아 생산성과 공정성의 향상이, 유동성과 부피수축율이 하부 덮개와 유사하게 나타나 조립성과 조립 후의 변형 및 물성발현이 향상되었다. 또한 전단속도와 전단응력의 해석결과, CASE-1의 문제점은 잔류 응력에 의한 것보다는 상 하부 덮개의 크기 차이에 의한 것으로 판단되며, 결국 수지의 배향 문제는 게이트 구조를 최적화 함으로써 파손 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것이라 예상된다.

Deflected 4-way panels of ceiling air conditioners produced by injection molding process have caused dew condensation at the edge of products. In order to prevent this drawback with reducing weight and deformation, this study proposed renovated process adopting microcellular foaming. According to results from 2-sample t-test and analysis of variance(ANOVA), the critical factors affecting weight were melt temperature and injection speed. In addition, the vital effects on deformation were structure at the edge, mold temperature and cooling time. Optimal conditions of these parameters were derived by regressive analysis with CAE and response surface method(RSM), and then applied to an actual design and process stage to analyze performance. As a results, it clearly showed that new process improved process capability as well as reduced both weight and deformation by 18.8% and 71.9% respectively compared to the conventional method.

본 논문에서는 다수 캐비티 금형의 러너 내 불균일한 전단분포로 인해 발생되는 충전불균형에 따른 치수정밀도, 기계적 강도 등 물성의 차이가 발생되는 문제점을 해소하기 위해서 수지가 처음 분기되는 2차 러너의 구조에 변화를 주어 다수 캐비티 사출성형에서 충전균형을 위한 러너시스템을 제시하였다. 이 러너시스템은 전단률차이에 의한 즉, 온도가 불균일한 수지의 흐름을 혼합함으로써 수지의 흐름을 균일하게 하여 충전균형을 이루도록 하였다. PP수지를 대상으로 각 캐비티 간 균형충전에 대해 이 러너시스템이 효과가 있는지 검증하기 위해 CAE프로그램(Moldflow)을 이용한 유동해석을 통해 그 효과를 나타내 보았다.

Rubber is used in many industrial products, such as hoses, rubber belts, and oil seals. In particular, more than 200 rubber parts are used in automobiles. The design technology of these parts is largely dependent on field experience, which leads to lengthy and expensive developing procedures. However, with the help of recent developments in nonlinear computer analysis, new rubber products can be developed at low cost. In this study, rubber injection molding design variables, such as location and number of gates, were optimized using computer-aided engineering with the cross-WLF equation to produce CLIP rubber products made from ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM). The validity of the proposed design was evaluated by comparison with actual forming results.

Cavity pressure is a factor of what is occurring inside the mold and is used as one of the process parameters that control the overall injection molding cycle. The insight of cavity pressure is able to predict part quality and optimum process condition. In this paper, it is adapted ejector pin sensor to measure the cavity pressure and investigates the flow balance and the cavity pressure according to different runner thickness for adjusting the flow balance. Flow balance is very important to have not the poor results such as flash and warpage in the family mold. This paper predicted flow balance and cavity pressure using CAE analysis tool and compared with the test results. The results of analysis and test have a good agreement with the cavity pressure profile and flow pattern of the test.

렌즈는 광학제품의 성능에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 주요 부품으로서, 고정도의 형상 및 안정된 내부물성을 요구하는 정밀 부품이다. 광학 렌즈는 특정 광학계 내에서 입사광이 원하는 위치에 초점을 맺을 수 있도록 굴절시켜주는 역할을 하며, 이를 위해 초점거리, 배율, 렌즈의 성능 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 렌즈의 형상을 설계해야 한다. 이러한 설계과정은 기하광학에 기반한 광선추적(Ray tracing) 기법을 통해 이루어지며, 주로 CodeV, OSLO 등의 상용 광학계설계 소프트웨어를 사용하여 수행되고 있다.(중략)
