... Abstract Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) can make injection molding tools with conformal cooling channels that can reduce plastic part warpage and production cycle times. In this study, we define the design space in which L-PBF tools are economically and environmentally beneficial compared...

... by injection molding using a C-entity, and simultaneously creates and evaluates its mold for manufacture by milling using the fundamental manufacturing entity for milling. The entity for the part manufacturing process is chosen as the complement of the entity for the mold manufacturing process. This obviates...

... of creating the tooling needed to produce the part. Evaluation of these tutors by both freshman and junior engineering students is discussed as well. A finite element analysis tutor, also under development, is briefly described. stamping injection molding forging FEA Proceedings of 4th ASME...

... Abstract The use of plastic gears is expanding in many different markets. Their application is cost-effective when produced on a large scale using a net-shape process such as injection molding. However, variables in the molding process have a direct impact on final gear geometry. In this paper...

... Abstract A tool to facilitate the feasibility study of a newly proposed multi-station injection molding system is developed. The conceptual design and proposed embodiment of the new system are geared toward the development of a system flexible enough to handle multiple part types and production...

... example, followed by a more realistic injection-molded part example. The latter example involves injection-mold filling simulation, thermal cooling, and part ejection analyses which are subclasses for a generic manufacturing analysis meta-object class. Prototype implementations of automated support...

... Abstract The porous cooling system has been proved to have significant advantages over traditional 2D conformal cooling channels due to its rapid cooling performance during the injection molding process. Compared to conventional porous systems, the conformal porous structures (CPS) have been...

... are employed. Input to these simulations is requirements on parts and fixtures or measurements from previously manufactured parts. In the case of plastic components, parts are often manufactured in the injection molding process. Here, different materials and process settings can make it difficult to predict...

... injection molding, an energy-intensive step in the golf ball manufacturing process, is the focus of the DES model. AutoMod, a 3-D modeling software, was used to build the DES model and AutoStat was used to run the trials and analyze the data. By varying the input parameters such as type and number...

... Injection Molding Rapid Tooling Ejection Stereolithography One of the main issues in injection molding is the amount of time required to design and fabricate a mold once a part representation has been created. Rapid tooling methods, the usage of rapid prototyping methods to fabricate...
