An injection molding is necessary to mass-product for micro-nano system, so micro-nano mold must be developed for injection molding. The micro-nano mold has precision and strength to overcome a surround of injection. So in this paper, two methods were used. First, after etching the Al, Ni was electroplated in etched AI. The other, LIGA method was used. A temperature and thickness of Ni are important factors in these methods. So after fabrication, the simulation was processed to find optimal thickenss of Ni and temperature.

With the capability of net shaping for complex 3D geometry, powder injection molding (PIM) is widely used for automotive parts, electronics and medical industry. In this study, an ultrasonic dental scaler tip produced by machining process was redesigned for the PIM process. An injection mold was designed and machined to produce the dental scaler tip by the PIM process.

Design and manufacturing of plastic injection mold with cavity pressure/temperature sensors were performed in the present study for tensile test specimen. Standards of mold-base and tensile test specimen were used to design an injection molding system. Cavity pressure and temperature sensors were placed on the side of fixed platen of injection mold machine to prevent them from external impact damage. Injection molding experiments with variations of injection speed and melt temperature were performed and polycarbonate tensile specimens were prepared for the tensile test. It was shown that injection molding processing parameters can have effect on the mechanical properties of the plastic injection molded part.

Injection molding is the one of the most important processes for mass production of plastic parts. Usually Injection molds for mass production are constituted to multi-cavity runner system to manufacture the more parts at a time. To uniformly fill to each cavity, multi-cavity molds are designed to geometrically balanced runner system. However. in practice this is not the case. The previous studies by Beaumount at.[2] reported that filling imbalance occurred by thermal unbalance on the mold and viscosity variation of resins and so on. In this study, we conducted experiments in order to know the causes or filling imbalance for 3 plate type mold with 8 cavities. We presented a new so called 4BF mold(4plate Type Balanced Filling Mold) to improve filling balance. We conducted a experimental injection molding to verify a efficiency of the 4BF mold. In the results of the experiment, We could confirmed the possibility of the 4BF mold.

Micro injection molding is a branch of micro system technology and has been under development for the mass manufacture of micro parts. Enhanced technological products like micro optical devices are entering the market. This paper presents fundamental research on the injection molding technique in micro fabrication. In order to successful manufacturing of micro plastic parts, it is necessary to research for development of micro-injection machine, machining of micro mold, decision of optimum injection conditions and the research for polymer material. Therefore in this study, in order to machining of micro mold, a mold core with microscopic V-shaped groove was tooled by ultra-precise tooling machine. The transcription experiments with a polymer, PMMA resin on the surface of core with Ni plating were carried out and surface profile of injected parts was measured with AFM.

Injection molding is the one of the most important processes for mass production of plastic parts. Usually injection molds for mass production are constituted to multi-cavity runner system to manufacture the more parts at a time. Multi-cavity molds are designed to geometrically balanced runner system to uniformly fill to each cavity. But, when injection molding is performed using a mold with balanced runner system filling imbalances are occurred between the cavity to cavity. The previous studies by Beaumont at. all reported that filling imbalance occurred by thermal unbalance on the mold and viscosity variation of resins and so on. In this study, we conducted experiments in order to know the causes of filling imbalance for 3 plate type mold with 8 cavities. And we exhibited a new so called 4BF mold (4 plate type Balanced Filling Mold) to be possible filling balance. We conducted a experimental injection molding to verify the efficiency of the 4BF mold. In the results of the experiment, we could confirmed the balanced filling possibility of the 4BF mold.
