Generally electrical circuits are fabricated as PCB(Printed Circuit Board) and mounted on a casing of the product. And it requires lots of other parts and some labor for assembly. Recently a molding technology is increasingly applied to embed simple circuits on a plastic casing. The technology is called as MID(Molded Interconnected Device). Therefore this paper introduces a new MID fabrication process by using direct 3D printing technology.

Today's automotive industry is evolving toward low-emissions or zero-emissions high-efficiency vehicles. Highly efficient power sources are required, as well as high strength steels for various parts to increase safety. In this study, we investigated the roll-forming process for the development of high strength, lightweight steel bumper beams. The roll-forming process was analyzed using the software package Shape-RF in combination with a rigid-plastic finite element method model. An optimal roll-forming process based on roll-pass was obtained using finite element method simulations.

The sectors of the Root industry include casting, plastic works, welding, surface treatment, and heat treatment. While the industry is concerned with the processing technologies that are used in most of the manufacturing industries, the sophistication of the corresponding manufacturing information systems is very low. This paper describes a manufacturing information system for the building sector for which the smartphone devices that the workers use in their daily lives are employed, and where the cost of the adaption of the manufacturing system at their factories is minimized. The proposed system consists of the following three parts: UI composer, General Application, and Gateway.

Most of automotive plastic parts are injection molding products. Inspection of total product is impossible, because number of product to inspect is too many and various. Condition-based Monitoring was proposed to decrease cost and time for inspecting. In this research, a system that predicts quality of part at fabrication point of time, and confirms informations through the internet was developed. Cavity sensors were installed inside of mold, and gathered signals as measuring, and through this process Sensor-based Monitoring system can be observed manufacturing of a part. Monitoring system transmits signals to client through the internet, and finally developed system provides manufacturing informations and predictions of quality as web-based monitoring.

During the cold forming, due to high working pressure acting on the die surface, failure mechanics must be considered before die design. One of the main reasons of die failure in industrial application of metal forming technologies is wear. Die wear affects the tolerances of formed parts, metal flow and costs of process etc. The only way to control these failures is to develop methods which allow prediction of die wear and which are suited to be used in the design state in order to optimize the process. In this paper, the wear experiments to obtain the wear coefficients and the upsetting processes was accomplished to observe the wear phenomenon during the cold forming process. The analysis of upsetting processes was accomplished by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The result from the deformation analysis was used to analyse the die wear during the processes and the predicted die wear profiles were compared with the measured die wear profiles.

Extruders can be basically divided into bisk and screw type of extruders. Though plastic extruders are often used for its simplicity for water and oil transportation pumps, these days screw extruders are mostly used. Screws are used in many extrusion processes to manufacture complex and complicated shaped parts made of plastics, medicine materials, food, polymer composites, iron and ceramic powders, etc. Also, material correction of deformities is caused by flow and physicochemical reaction phenomenonand material extrusion is processed according to heat transfer. various material comes to hopper because extruder has function by blender and mixing of materials can go well before come out through dice. These change process is so complicated that process condition is decided by trial and error that process condition is underground mainly at extrusion molding process.

In forming processes, die failure must be considered before die design. One of the main reasons of die failure in industrial application of metal forming technologies is wear. The die wear affects the tolerances of formed parts, metal flow and costs of processes etc. The only way to control these failures is to develop methods which allow prediction of the die wear and which are suited to be used in the design state in order to optimize the process. In this paper, wire drawing processes were simulated using the rigid-plastic finite element method and its results were used for predicting the die wear by Archard's wear model. The effects of the temperature rising on the wear profiles of die were also investigated. The simulation results were compared with the measured die profiles.

These days, recycling of plastic material has become a major issue due to the landfills and environmental problem. This study investigates the fluidity of thermoplastic vulcanizate(TPV), which can be used for an automobile part such as a weather strip, in order to replace ethylene propylene rubber(EPDM). Injection molding experiments with the spiral flow test mold and panel cover mold are conducted to examine the fluidity of TPV during injection molding. It is found out that the recycled TPV's flow length is a little bit longer than the virgin TPV. However, the filling weight for a panel cover parts by a recycled TPV is almost the same as that by a virgin TPV.

The present work focuses on the prediction of birefringence in injection-molded part and its improvement by rapid mold heating. To calculate birefringence, flow-induced residual stress is computed through a fully three-dimensional injection molding analysis. Then the stress-optical law is applied from which the order of birefringence can be evaluated and visualized. The birefringence patterns are predicted for a rectangular plate with a variation of mold temperature, which shows that the amount of molecular orientation and birefringence level decreases with an increase of mold temperature. The effect of mold temperature on the order of birefringence is also studied for a thin-walled rectangular strip, and the relevant results are compared with experimental measurements. Both predicted and experimental patterns of birefringence are in agreements on the observation that the birefringence level diminishes significantly when the mold temperature is raised over the glass transition temperature.

It is treated more seriously than ever as the customer requirements are becoming a high-quality and diversification. Among the various elements to affect customer's evaluation of automobile quality, BSR(buzz, squeak, rattle noise) are considered to be a mostly contributing factor. Rattle Noises in cockpit modules are one of the major concerns mentioned above. Recently, measurements of the BSR noise between the parts that make up the products from the perspective that the structural causes. For structures that make up material has not been any consideration of the BSR noise characteristics. The aim of this study is to clarify the characteristics of noise occurrence in vehicle cockpit module that consist of plastic material after measuring noise by rattle special testing instrument.
