The injection molding process is a one of the most efficient techniques for manufacturing plastic parts of complex shape at low cost. In injection molding, molten plastic material is injected into the mold and cooled. Selection of molding conditions greatly affects the quality of molded parts. In this case study, we attempted to optimize the injection molding condition for a cooling filter using Taguchi experimental design methodology. The injection molding experiments were carried out using the Moldflow simulation software.

To maximize the productivity in machining molds and dies, machine tools should operate at high speeds. However, the productivity of mold manufacturing has not increased significantly because CNC milling machines have massive slides, which do not allow rapid acceleration and deceleration during the frequent starts/stops encountered in machining molds and dies. This paper presents the use of composites for these slides to overcome this limitation. The vertical and horizontal slides of a large CNC machine were constructed by bonding high-modulus carbon-fiber epoxy composite sandwiches to welded steel structures using adhesives. These composite structures reduced the weight of the vertical and horizontal slides by 34% and 26%, respectively, and increased damping by 1.5 to 5.7 times without sacrificing the stiffness. Without much tuning, this machine had a positional accuracy of $\pm5\mu\textrm{m}$ per 300 m of the slide displacement.

Machine tools of high-speed and high-precision are required for various fields of industry such as semiconductor, automobile, mold fabrication and so on. Light-weight machine tool structure is essential for reduction of production time through rapid transportation. Also, high damping capacity of the structure is required to obtain precise products without vibration during manufacturing. Composite materials have high potential for machine tool structures due to its high specific stiffness and good damping characteristics. In this study, the design and the manufacture of a hybrid machine tool structure using composite materials was attempted and the damping capacity was investigated experimentally.

In this study, we develop automatic design program, which create 3D model of spur gear and helical gear used VisuaILISP and create helical gear in the CATIA using 2D profile of gear. This model become the standard model, which give not only in itself mold information but also computer processed product with measuring date. Spur gear require mathematical examination of involute curve and trocoidal fillet curve. Automatic design program, which have a mathematical development create the profile of spur gear.

Electronic or measuring instruments equipped with aspherical lens have recently been used since aspherical lens is more effective than spherical one. for the mass production of aspherical lenses, specific molds with precisely machined cores should be prepared. Some researches on the aspherical lens machining have been carried out to date. However, ultra-precise finding of aspherical or mold core has not been fully studied. In this study, the ultra-precise grinding and evaluating system were established to investigate the finding characteristics of aspherical lenses. Unlike conventional grinding process, since a highly-precise lathe were operated in a clean room without vibration the experimental results can be very useful for further studies on ultra-precise grinding process.

Milling process has beer used in aircraft, auto-component and mold industries widely. They need more accurate and precise parts to improve the performance and quality of their products. So, the geometrical form accuracy of the workpiece surface generated by this process is getting more and more important. Generally, the form accuracy is affected by machine conditions, cutting conditions, tool geometry, tool deflection by cutting force and tool path md so on. Even though they are controlled as perfect conditions, it is easily found that there is a line along the axis of a cylindrically milled part. It is presumed that the tool approaching causes this error on milled surface. Thus, the study for investigating the effect of the tool approaching path on the cylindrical surface geometry of the end-milled part is carried out.

For the fabrication of nano patterned products manufacturing a nano patterned mold is needed in advance. The nano patterned stamper was fabricated by electroforming the AAO master with nickel. The surface of nickel-plated stamper had nano-patterned holes with the diameter of 73 nm and the depth of 83 nm. Hot embossing was used for forming P3HT sheet and the process factors of hot embossing were closer as pressure, temperature and time. In the present paper hot embossing experiments were performed to find the main process conditions to affect the replication ratio of nano patterns on surface of P3HT sheet. As a result, main contributing factors for the replication ratio of hot embossed pattern could be sequentially enumerated as pressure, temperature and time.

Due to the development of the CNC machine tool and CAM software, sculptured surface machining can be broadly used in die and mold industries and ball end milling process is often used for the sculptured surface machining. It is found out how feedrate affects the precision of the machining and also tried to study the most suitable feedrate in specific cutting condition. Two eddy current sensors were used far measuring tool deflections of X, Y axis, dynamometer for cutting force and roundness tester for roundness. It was found that the tool deflection is getting better as tool path is going to further from the center of convex surface. The reason is that the cutting force is increased as the tool approaches to the center. Examining the roundness, cutting force and tool deflection characteristics, it was found that the most suitable feedrate is 90mm/min in convex surface and 120mm/min in concave surface.

Data transmission capacity that is required in 2010 is forecasted that increase by optical communication capacity more than present centuple, and is doing increased demand of optical communication related industry product present. Specially, Lid glass' application that is one of optical communication parts is used in optical communication parts manufacture of Fiber array, Ferrule array, Fanout Black, Silica optical waveguide chip and splitter etc. Also, it is used widely for communication network system, CATV, ATM-PON, FTTH and system. But, Lid glass need much processing times and becomes cause in rising prices of optical communication parts because production cost is expensive. The objectives, of this work is to suggest the micro concave and convex pattern manufacturing technology on borosilicate plate using high temperature and compression molding method. As a result, could developed micro pattern Mold more than 5 pattern, and reduce Lid Glass manufacture cycle time.

This paper describes the manufacture of spherical and aspherical surface on glass, superalloy and ceramic components. The rotationally symmetricallenses, and the ceramic or superalloy molds with spherical shapes are mainly generated by cutting processes on CNC lathe machine or 4,5 axis CNC machining centers. Recently, spherical shape parts require more precise and efficent machining technologies for wide material range such as optical lens of the lithography device in semiconductor manufacturing processes or the high precision mold machining of anti-chemical, anti-wear materials. In this paper, we introduce a newly developed infeed grinding machine with metal with metal bonded cup type wheel and its effects on spherical surface grinding.
