PMMA 판재를 생산하기 위한 두 가지 형태의 방법이 있는 데 셀 주형 방법과 벨트 주형 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법들은 생산성이나 생산 단가 면에서 각각의 단점을 갖고 있다. 그러므로 고분자 가공연구자들은 플라스틱 필름을 주형으로 이용하여 PMMA 판재를 생산하는 새로운 가공 방법기 개발에 많은 관심을 갖게 되었는데 그 이유는 이러한 새로운 가공 방법이 벨트 주형 방법의 생산 단가를 낮출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 셀 주형 방법의 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 그러한 새로운 주형 방법의 개발에 대한 하나의 해결책을 주기 위하여 본 연구에서는 MMA 배합물의 조성 및 경화 조건 PMMA 판재의 가공성 및 기계적 강도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 폴리(비닐 아세테이트) 필름이 PMMA 판재의 생산을 위한 플라스틱 필름 주형으로 사용되었다. 우수한 가공성 및 경화 후 우수한 기계적 특성을 나타내는 MMA 배합물을 결정하기 위하여 성분 및 그들의 조성이 단계적으로 최적화 되었다. 결합제 및 개질제로 작용하는 아크릴산이 PMMA 판재의 기계적 특성의 향상에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

SMC(Sheet molding compound) is a thermosetting material reinforced with chopped fiberglass. The compression molding of SMC was analyzed based on a rigid thermo-viscoplastic approach using a three dimensional finite element program coupled with temperatures. Only the temperature analysis part was tested in this paper by solving one-dimensional heat transfer problem and comparing with the exact solutions available in the literature. Based on this comparison the program was proved to be valid and was further applied in solving compression molding of SMC between flat dies. To investigate the usefulness of a rigid thermo-viscoplastic approach in the compression molding analysis of SMC charge, compression of rectangular shaped SMC charge at plane strain and three dimensionalde formation condition was analyzed under the same condition as given in the literature. From this comparison it was found out that the rigid thermo-viscoplastic approach was useful in analyzing SMC compression molding between flat dies.

Plastic molding designers are frequently faced with optimizing multiple defects in injection molded parts. these defects are usually in conflict with each other, and thus a tradeoff needs to be made reach a final compromised solution. In this study, an automated injection molding design methodology has been developed to optimize multiple defects of injection molded parts. Two features of the proposed methodology are as follows: one is to apply the utility theory to transform the original multiple objective optimization problem into single objective optimization problem with utility as objective function, the other is an implementation of a direct search-based injection molding optimization procedure with automated consideration of process variation. The modified complex method is used as a general optimization tool in this research. The developed methodology was applied to an actual molding design and the results showed that the methodology was useful through the CAE simulation using a commercial injection molding software package. Applied to production, this study will be of immense value to industry in reducing the product development time and enhancing the product quality.

This study examines multiple quality optimization of the injection molding for Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK). It also looks into the dimensional deviation and strength of screws that are reduced and improved for the molding quality, respectively. This study applies the Taguchi method to cut down on the number of experiments and combines grey relational analysis to determine the optimal processing parameters for multiple quality characteristics. The quality characteristics of this experiment are the screws' outer diameter, tensile strength and twisting strength. First, one should determine the processing parameters that may affect the injection molding with the $L_{18}(2^1{\times}3^7)$ orthogonal, including mold temperature, pre-plasticity amount, injection pressure, injection speed, screw speed, packing pressure, packing time and cooling time. Then, the grey relational analysis, whose response table and response graph indicate the optimum processing parameters for multiple quality characteristics, is applied to resolve this drawback. The Taguchi method only takes a single quality characteristic into consideration. Finally, a processing parameter prediction system is established by using the back-propagation neural network. The percentage errors all fall within 2%, between the predicted values and the target values. This reveals that the prediction system established in this study produces excellent results.

Because of steep rise of international energy cost in recent years high efficiency has been emphasized in energy policy. As far as injection molding machine is concerned, hybrid method using hydraulic and electric systems became the key to this energy saving. the energy saving and molding reproducibility of hybrid injection molding process were shown experimentally, power consumption of hybrid machine is 38% as compared with that of hydraulic machine. Furthermore, the molding reproducibility showed between two methods.

Gas-assisted injection molding(GAIM) produces parts with hollow internal sections. The technique offers benefits to powder injection molding(PIM), with lower material usage and reduced time for de-binding processes. In this study, the effects of processing parameters on gas penetration length of gas-assisted powder injection molding(GAPIM) were investigated for SUS316L stainless steel powder feedstock. Experiments were planned based on the Taguchi method, involving processing variables such as melt temperature, shot size, gas pressure, and gas delay time. The most significant parameters affecting gas penetration length were gas delay time and shot size, while the effects of melt temperature and gas pressure was relatively insignificant.

Temperature and velocity distributions of hot air flows in rotational molding machines with two different shapes and structures of oven and inlet were investigated by using FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics code. The shape and structure of oven and inlet in current rotational molding machine were improved. Two different sizes of mold inside each oven were considered in the analysis. Temperature and velocity distributions of hot air flows in two different rotational molding machines were compared to each other. In order to reduce cycle time and improve product quality in current rotational molding machine, the improved shape and structure of oven and inlet were proposed.

Injection molding is a very important industrial process for the manufacturing of plastics objects. During an injection molding process of composites, the fiber-matrix separation and fiber orientation are caused by the flow of molten polymer/fiber mixture. As a result, the product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. Hence, it is very important to clarify the relations between separation' orientation and injection molding conditions. So far, there is no research on the measurement of fiber orientation using image processing. In this study, the effects of fiber content ratio and molding condition on the fiber orientation-angle distributions are studied experimentally. Using the image processing method, the fiber orientation distribution of weld-line in injection-molded products is assessed. And the effects of fiber content and injection mold-gate conditions on the fiber orientation are also discussed.

Blow molding is a manufacturing process in which thermoplastic preforms are preheated and then pneumatically expanded within a mold to produce hollow products of various shapes. The two-step process, a type of blow molding method, requires the output of multiple infrared lamps to be adjusted individually, so the process of finding initial conditions hinders productivity. In this study, digital twin technology was applied to solve this problem. A blow molding simulation technique was established and simulation-based metadata was generated. A response surface ROM (Reduced Order Model) was built using the generated metadata. Then, a dynamic ROM was constructed using the results of 3D heat transfer analysis. Through this, users can quickly check the product wall thickness uniformity according to changes in the control value of the heating lamp for products of various shapes, and at the same time, check the temperature distribution of the preform in real time.
