INJECTION MOLDING METHODS DESIGN, OPTIMIZATION, SIMULATION OF PLASTIC TOY BUILDING BLOCK BY MOLD FLOW ANALYSIS

Mold flow simulation helps designers to see how the ir designs will be resulted after injection molding process without needing to do the Injection Molding process. The use of simulation programs saves time and reduces the costs of the Molding system design. Injection molding design simulation holds an important role in analyzing the outcome of the design. In this paper plastic toy building block part is analyzed and studied to solve the problems frequent rejections due to as shrinkage, weld lines, air traps, and sink marks. All the designs were simulated with Autodesk Mold flow Adviser.
