Simulation of Mould Filling in Injection Moulding

This paper presents the analysis and simulation of mold filling for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polypropylene (PP) materials in injection molding using MOLDFLOW software. The main objective is to study the effects of mold filling on both materials and to compare the different factors of both materials. In order to understand the mould filling process to fabricate plastic parts, both thermal and mechanical properties of the injection molding process are studied through moldflow simulation.
