There are two types of mold parts, ready-made standard parts and ETO (Engineered-to-Order) parts, the latter are of increasing importance to manufacturers. However, the ETO parts require more engineering support and communication than the ready-made standard parts. Existing e-Catalog modules provide classification structures of products that allow customers to select products based on their needs, and the trade begins with the provided specification. However, machine parts or mold parts have different purchasing patterns. Customers do not purchase the ready-made standard parts offered by an e-Catalog. They usually (1) add own options to the provided specifications or (2) change specification items such as length. To support these trades, a new e-Catalog system is proposed. The proposed system is based on the product design process and the specification selection process in addition to the parts classification structure.

For the production of complicated plastic parts in a cycle, a mold is needed.. The basic tasks of a mold are accommodation and distribution of the resin, shaping and cooling the melt and ejection of the molding. To achieve these goal a mold has several important parts and we classified types of molds. The 6 different major functions of a mold are explained and several types of molds are shown in her. I hope these explanation will help to understand injection molds for a design engineer.

A light guiding plate (LGP) with nanometer-sized patterns was fabricated by injection molding method which employed electrically healed mold and the transcription of injection-molded parts was investigated. A Ni stamper was fabricated using MEMS technology. The Ni stamper was then installed in a movable heated core which is a key part of the mold. Using this mold, injection-molded plastic LGP parts were manufactured at different mold temperatures and the effect of the temperature on the transcription of the parts was investigated.

In this study. an experimental work was performed to mold tensile specimens by using the injection molding machine. Melt temperature, mold temperature and the mixed ratio of recycled resin were selected as processing parameters for studying the effect of those conditions on the shrinkage and weight of molded parts. As a result, the shrinkage was increased with the higher mold and melt temperature and it was more sensitive to the change of mold temperature. On the other hand, the weight of molded parts was decreased with the increment of mold and melt temperature.

Recently, the interest on micro optical parts has increased rapidly with the development of technology related to microsystems. Among the optical parts, micro lens is one of the most broadly used micro parts. To mass-produce the micro lenses, it is very effective to use the mold insert and injection molding process. There are many methods to fabricate the mold insert for micro lenses: electroforming, etching, mechanical micromachining and so on. In this study, we fabricated the mold insert for micro lenses using a micro ball endmill to apply mechanical micromaching method and analyzed the effect of main process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, dwell time on the processed surface. Then, using fabricated the mold insert we fabricated the micro lenses through injection molding process.

In this study, we evaluated the surface roughness of mold and injected parts manufactured by polycarbonate (PC) injection molding. The mold surface was polished to produce six differentiated roughnesses with 12 areas using stones (#800, #1200), sandpapers (#800, #1200), and diamond compounds (#8000, #14000). Injected parts were created using 20mm/s injection speed, 80 bar holding pressure for 5 seconds, and $70^{\circ}C$ cooling water. Injected parts surface roughness (Sa) was measured randomly in 10 of 30 using an interferometer (NewView8000, zygo, USA). In the same way, mold surface was measured randomly 10 times on 12 polished areas. Surface roughness of molds and injected parts were compared, and a regression equation to predict mold surface roughness was proposed for specific injection molding parameters.

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.

The production of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics(CFRTP) parts using an injection/compression molding process that differs from the conventionally used fabrication methods was investigated Before the application of composite molding in the injection/compression molding process, a simple compression molding experiment was performed using a hydraulic press machine to determine the characteristics of resin impregnation and to obtain a basic physical property data for the CFRTP. Based on these results, injection/compression molded specimens were manufactured and an additional insert/over molding process was applied to improve the impregnation rate of the molded specimens. The results demonstrated that the tensile strength of the molded parts using the faster injection/compression process was similar to that of a hydraulic press molded product.
