Introduction
The Project has tried to highlight the need of Training & Development mechanism which
helps successful organization to build on their success and to generate and meet the desire
of feedback.
The organization is its viability, and hence its efficiency, there is continuous environmental
pressure for efficiency and if the organization does not respond to this pressure it may find
itself rapidly losing whatever share of the market it has. Employee training, therefore,
imparts specific skills and knowledge to employee in order that they contribute the
organizations efficiency and be able to cope with the pressure of changing environment.
Employee training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge so that
the employee is letter equipped to his present job, or to prepare him for a higher position
with increased responsibilities.
The effective functioning of any organization requires that employees learn to perform
their jobs at satisfactory level of proficiency, So much that the organizations need to
provide opportunities for the continuous development of employees not only in their
present jobs, but also to develop their capabilities for other jobs for which they later be
considered.

Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a
particular job. Training will provide for an output in this decision. The positive benefits of
Training are:
Training helps employees to learn their jobs and attain desired levels of
performance especially thus contributing better utilization of employees, machines
and materials.
Training helps to reduce the cost of raw materials and products reducing losses
due to waste, poor quality products and damage to machinery which would result
if an untrained employee, were to learn on his own.
Finally, training aids in the development of individual skills, better methods, new
equipment and new work relationship. Such a process would also facilitate
technological change by updating the versatility of employees.

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Purpose
Plastic has become the 'all-purpose' material. From packaging, plastic plants, domestic items, containers, pipes to
automobile parts, the plastic industry has come a long way from its small beginnings about a hundred years ago.
Some of the processes involved in plastic technology are compression, moulding, lamination, fabrication etc.
Injection moulding and blow moulding are the commonly used processes.
1.2 Scope
Injection-moulded plastic parts are part and parcel of everyday life. Be they mobile phone casings, beverage crates,
toy figures, gearwheels for adjustment mechanisms, bumpers on cars, drinking cups, CDs and DVDs, or syringe
bodies in medical technology, injection mouldings are encountered everywhere in all sizes, ranging from a few
micrograms to several kilograms. Uniting several components in a single injection moulding, integrating as many
functions as possible in a single component, and converting production methods comprising several steps into a
single-stage process these are the chief innovation goals in the injection moulding sector.
1.3 Project References
Engage polyolefin elastomers have a wide processing temperature window. The following
temperatures should be used as a reference point and can vary5C. These temperatures should be
usedas a starting point and can be increased by a maximum of +20C.Note: From starting point,
the hopper feed throat should be cooled below 50C to avoid polymer bridging, especially on
Engage8400/Engage 8407.Successful injection molding of Engage requires fast injection
velocities to promote shear thinning throughout the material. Typical polyolefin equipment should
be used.

2.0 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
2.1 Organizations Involved
Omax Auto Ltd.
2.2 Equipment
Injection molding machines consist of a material hopper, an injection ram or screw-type plunger,
and a heating unit. They are also known as presses, they hold the molds in which the components
are shaped. Presses are rated by tonnage, which expresses the amount of clamping force that the
machine can exert. This force keeps the mold closed during the injection process. Tonnage can
vary from less than 5 tons to 6000 tons, with the higher figures used in comparatively few
manufacturing operations. The total clamp force needed is determined by the projected area of the
part being molded. This projected area is multiplied by a clamp force of from 2 to 8 tons for each
square inch of the projected areas.
Molds are built through two main methods: standard machining and EDM. Standard machining,
in its conventional form, has historically been the method of building injection molds. With
technological development, CNC machining became the predominant means of making more
complex molds with more accurate mold details in less time than traditional methods.
General Machines which are used in the company are:lathe,milling,shaper,slotting,drilling
and CNC(sanco sdm 2214) and CNC(cosmos cmo 1060).
2.3 Performance Objectives (Efficiency)
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
If we use cast iron material for a making of any plastic mold,we generally use CNC machines for
making the core and cavity of any component. Other than if we uses different operation in different
machines like lathe,drilling,milling,boring etc.,it takes more time than the CNC machine, which
will reduced in time and processing speed, and increases productivity and staff .On the other hand
the CNC m/c will takes less time and higher processing speed and totally control over automated
decision making. The CNC m/c reduces staff.So,the efficiency of the CNC m/c is higher than the
different operation of machines.
The performance of conventional molding processes are governed by these physics, with
significant trade-offs required in the design of the part geometry, molding process, and polymeric
materials. For instance, a light product may require thin walls. However, the filling of such a thin-
walled product may require very high injection pressures and a lower viscosity resin.
Page 7 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
2.4 Assumptions and Constraints
Plastics injection molding is perceived by many as a mature technology. However, many
performance constraints in plastics injection molding still exist that prevent the development and
manufacture of higher performance products at lower cost. A primary issue is not whether these
performance constraints can be overcome, but rather which performance constraints should be
overcome. With respect to control of the melt temperature in plastics injection molding, this paper
has provided analytical, experimental, and economic proof of feasibility. This analysis provides
convincing argument that control of melt temperature should be overcome and beneficially utilized
in many commercial applications. Determine the assumptions and constraints, such as operational
life of the proposed system; period of time for comparison of system alternatives; input, output,
and processing requirements; financial constraints; changing hardware, software, and operating
environment; and availability of information and resources.
2.5 Methodology (Basic Principle involved)
The method used for the making any plastic object by injection molding process are:
First.the plastic matter should filled to the IMM from the top and the matter will heated in the m/c
which is filled to the tool and after the product will ejected through the tool .the cooling process
will be:

cavity and the pressure decays. The amount of energy to be removed, Q

2.6 Recommendation
- Verify the temperature of the mold cavities using a temperature probe.
- Confirm the melt temperature using a temperature probe moved about in a volume of melt, shot
onto an insulator (a glove, cardboard, etc.)
- Set the initial cooling time
- Set a zero hold time and/or pressure
- Inject incomplete parts by gradually increasing the shot volume using an average to high injection
speed.
- When the mold is almost filled (90 to 95%), set the initial hold pressure and gradually increase
the hold time.
- In this way, the end of the filling is done under constant pressure and part over-packing is
avoided.
- Adjust the hold phase parameters to obtain a constant part weight and the required dimensional
stability.
- The cooling time depends on the part geometry.
- Gradually adjust the cooling time until the optimal cycle time is obtained.
The variety of plugs offered fit a wide spectrum of polymer needs. Vent diameter should be
chosen to correspond to these needs. Examples are listed below.
1. 0.03mm diameter for use with polyethylene and polypropylene
2. 0.05mm diameter used in Nylon, ABS and polycarbonate.
3. 0.10mm diameter vents for highly viscous polymers.

3.0 PROPOSED SYSTEM
3.1 Description of Design / Fabrication of the Proposed System /
Model
The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector mold
(B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold; the sprue bushing is
to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection barrel of the molding machine and to allow molten
plastic to flow from the barrel into the mold, also known as the cavity. The sprue bushing directs
the molten plastic to the cavity images through channels that are machined into the faces of the A
and B plates. These channels allow plastic to run along them, so they are referred to as
runners. The molten plastic flows through the runner and enters one or more specialized gates and
into the cavity

geometry to form the desired part.
The amount of resin required to fill the sprue, runner and cavities of a mold is a shot. Trapped air
in the mold can escape through air vents that are ground into the parting line of the mold. If the
trapped air is not allowed to escape, it is compressed by the pressure of the incoming material and
is squeezed into the corners of the cavity, where it prevents filling and causes other defects as well.
The air can become so compressed that it ignites and burns the surrounding plastic material. To
allow for removal of the molded part from the mold, the mold features must not overhang one
another in the direction that the mold opens, unless parts of the mold are designed to move from
between such overhangs when the mold opens (utilizing components called Lifters).
Sides of the part that appear parallel with the direction of draw (The axis of the cored position
(hole) or insert is parallel to the up and down movement of the mold as it opens and closes)

are
typically angled slightly with (draft) to ease release of the part from the mold. Insufficient draft can
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
cause deformation or damage. The draft required for mold release is primarily dependent on the
depth of the cavity: the deeper the cavity, the more draft necessary. Shrinkage must also be taken
into account when determining the draft required. If the skin is too thin, then the molded part will
tend to shrink onto the cores that form them while cooling, and cling to those cores or part may
warp, twist, blister or crack when the cavity is pulled away. The mold is usually designed so that
the molded part reliably remains on the ejector (B) side of the mold when it opens, and draws the
runner and the sprue out of the (A) side along with the parts. The part then falls freely when
ejected from the (B) side. Tunnel gates, also known as submarine or mold gates, are located below
the parting line or mold surface. An opening is machined into the surface of the mold on
the parting line. The molded part is cut (by the mold) from the runner system on ejection from the
mold.Ejector pins, also known as knockout pins, are circular pins placed in either half of the mold
(usually the ejector half), which push the finished molded product, or runner system out of a mold.
3.2 Time and Resource Costs
The cost of manufacturing molds depends on a very large set of factors ranging from number of
cavities, size of the parts (and therefore the mold), complexity of the pieces, expected tool
longevity, surface finishes and many others. The initial cost is great, however the piece part cost is
low, so with greater quantities the overall price decreases.
The tooling cost has two main components - the mold base and the machining of the cavities. The
cost of the mold base is primarily controlled by the size of the part's envelope. A larger part
requires a larger, more expensive, mold base. The cost of machining the cavities is affected by
nearly every aspect of the part's geometry. The primary cost driver is the size of the cavity that
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
must be machined, measured by the projected area of the cavity (equal to the projected area of the
part and projected holes) and its depth. Any other elements that will require additional machining
time will add to the cost, including the feature count, parting surface, side-
cores, lifters, unscrewing devices, tolerance, and surface roughness.

Feasibility Report / ME
4.0 Alternative Mechanism/ Design
A program begins with a need - either an improvement on something already in existence,
or a unique way of fulfilling a need. The initial idea may start as a sketch or as a model.
The next step is to put the idea into a workable form and to determine how it will be
manufactured and the cost to manufacture it.
With competitive pressures demanding maximum efficiency from every facet of a
company's operations, designers and engineers are faced with the increasingly difficult task
of developing a product which not only meets the functional requirements of the
application, but a product which can be produced in the most cost effective manner. Add to
this challenge the ever-increasing number of government regulations, new materials, and
improved manufacturing processes, and the task of designing even a "simple" pan is no
longer simple. The path becomes more complicated.
4.0 Description of [Alternative Mechanism / Design]
The process cycle for injection molding is very short, typically between 2 seconds and 2
minutes, and consists of the following four stages:
1. Clamping - Prior to the injection of the material into the mold, the two halves of the
mold must first be securely closed by the clamping unit. Each half of the mold is
attached to the injection molding machine and one half is allowed to slide. The
hydraulically powered clamping unit pushes the mold halves together and exerts
sufficient force to keep the mold securely closed while the material is injected. The
time required to close and clamp the mold is dependent upon the machine - larger
machines (those with greaterclamping forces) will require more time. This time can be
estimated from the dry cycle time of the machine.
2. Injection - The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the
injection molding machine, and advanced towards the mold by the injection unit.
During this process, the material is melted by heat and pressure. The molten plastic is
then injected into the mold very quickly and the buildup of pressure packs and holds
the material. The amount of material that is injected is referred to as the shot. The
injection time is difficult to calculate accurately due to the complex and changing flow
of the molten plastic into the mold. However, the injection time can be estimated by the
shot volume, injection pressure, and injection power.
3. Cooling - The molten plastic that is inside the mold begins to cool as soon as it
makes contact with the interior mold surfaces. As the plastic cools, it will solidify into
the shape of the desired part. However, during cooling some shrinkage of the part may
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
occur. The packing of material in the injection stage allows additional material to flow
into the mold and reduce the amount of visible shrinkage. The mold can not be opened
until the required cooling time has elapsed. The cooling time can be estimated from
several thermodynamic properties of the plastic and the maximum wall thickness of the
part.
4. Ejection - After sufficient time has passed, the cooled part may be ejected from the
mold by the ejection system, which is attached to the rear half of the mold. When the
mold is opened, a mechanism is used to push the part out of the mold. Force must be
applied to eject the part because during cooling the part shrinks and adheres to the
mold. In order to facilitate the ejection of the part, a mold release agent can be sprayed
onto the surfaces of the mold cavity prior to injection of the material. The time that is
required to open the mold and eject the part can be estimated from the dry cycle time of
the machine and should include time for the part to fall free of the mold. Once the part
is ejected, the mold can be clamped shut for the next shot to be injected.
After the injection molding cycle, some post processing is typically required. During
cooling, the material in the channels of the mold will solidify attached to the part. This
excess material, along with any flash that has occurred, must be trimmed from the part,
typically by using cutters. For some types of material, such as thermoplastics, the scrap
material that results from this trimming can be recycled by being placed into a plastic
grinder, also called regrind machines or granulators, which regrinds the scrap material into
pellets. Due to some degradation of the material properties, the regrind must be mixed with
raw material in the proper regrind ratio to be reused in the injection molding process.

Introduction
Purpose
Injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication
of plastic parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection molding,
which vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. The injection molding process
requires the use of an injection molding machine, raw plastic material, and a mold.
Document Conventions
In this process, the plastic granules or pellets are poured into a machine hopper and fed into
the chamber of the heating cylinder. A plunger then compresses the material, forcing it
through progressively hotter zones of the heating cylinder in order to accelerate the heating
of the center of the plastic mass. The torpedo may also be heated so that the plastic is
heated from the inside as well as from the outside.
The material flows from the heating cylinder through a nozzle into the mold. The nozzle is
the seal between the cylinder and the mold. It is used to prevent leaking of the material
caused by the pressure used. The mold is held shut by the clamp end of the machine. For
polystyrene, two to three tons of pressure on the clamp end of the machine is generally
used for each inch of projected area of the part and runner system. The conventional
plunger machine is the only type of machine that can produce a mottle-colored part.

Overall Description
Product Perspective
Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from
both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated
barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the
configuration of the mold cavity.
[1]
After a product is designed, usually by an industrial
designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal,
usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the
desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts,
from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars .It utilizes a ram or screw-
type plunger to force molten plastic material into a mold cavity .It produces a solid or
open-ended shape that has conformed to the contour of the moldUses thermoplastic or
thermoset materials. It produces a parting line, sprue, and gate marks. Ejector pin
marks are usually present Injection molding is used to produce thin-walled plastic parts
for a wide variety of applications, one of the most common being plastic housings.
Plastic housing is a thin-walled enclosure, often requiring many ribs andbosses on the
interior. These housings are used in a variety of products including household
appliances, consumer electronics, power tools, and as automotive dashboards. Other
common thin-walled products include different types of open containers, such as
buckets. Injection molding is also used to produce several everyday items such as

toothbrushes or small plastic toys. Many medical devices, including valves and
syringes, are manufactured using injection molding as well.
Assumptions
Optimal process settings are critical to influencing the cost, quality, and productivity of
plastic injection molding. The main trouble in injection molding is to have a box of good
plastics parts contaminated with scrap. For that reason process optimization studies have to
be done and process monitoring has to take place. First article inspection of internal and
external geometry including imperfections such as porosity can be completed
using Industrial CT Scanning, a 3D x-ray technology. For external geometry verification
only a Coordinate-measuring machineor white light scanner can be used.
To have a constant filling rate in the cavity, the switch over from injection phase to the
holding phase can be made based on cavity pressure level.
Having a stable production window, the following issues are worth investigating:

Specification of each Component
Injection molding machines are typically characterized by the tonnage of the clamp
force they provide. The required clamp force is determined by the projected area of the
parts in the mold and the pressure with which the material is injected. Therefore, a larger
part will require a larger clamping force. Also, certain materials that require high injection
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
pressures may require higher tonnage machines. The size of the part must also comply with
other machine specifications, such as shot capacity, clamp stroke, minimum mold
thickness,and platen size.
Injection molded parts can vary greatly in size and therefore require these measures to
cover a very large range. As a result, injection molding machines are designed to each
accommodate a small range of this larger spectrum of values. Sample specifications are
shown below for three different models (Babyplast, Powerline, and Maxima) of injection
molding machine that are manufactured by Cincinnati Milacron.
Babyplast Powerline Maxima
Clamp force (ton) 6.6 330 4400

Clamp stroke (in.) 4.33 23.6 133.8
Min. mold thickness (in.) 1.18 7.9 31.5
Platen size (in.) 2.95 x 2.95 40.55 x 40.55 122.0 x 106.3
Material of the Component used
There are many types of materials that may be used in the injection molding process. Most
polymers may be used, including all thermoplastics, some thermosets, and some
elastomers. When these materials are used in the injection molding process, their raw form
is usually small pellets or a fine powder. Also, colorants may be added in the process to
control the color of the final part. The selection of a material for creating injection molded
parts is not solely based upon the desired characteristics of the final part. While each
material has different properties that will affect the strength and function of the final part,
these properties also dictate the parameters used in processing these materials. Each
material requires a different set of processing parameters in the injection molding process,
including the injection temperature, injection pressure, mold temperature, ejection
temperature, and cycle time.

Feasibility Report / ME
Basic Principle of Working of Component
The working principle of injection molding machine is similar to injection syringe, it
using screw thrust injection the plasticized plastic into die cavity, after formalization take
out products.
Injection molding is a cyclical process, every cycle mainly include: rated material
feeding-- melt and plasticationpressure injectionmold filling and cooling --startup
mould. Closed modules after remove mold parts then go ahead next cycle.
The injection molding are basic requirements of the plasticizing, injection and molding.
Plasticizing is achieve and guarantee the quality of molding products, in order to meet
requirements of molding, injection must have enough pressure and speed. At the same
time, injection pressure high, consequently produce high pressure in die cavity, so must
have enough clamping force. Thus it can be seen, injection equipment and clamping
equipment key parts in injection molding machine.
Material of the Component used
The main tool of injection molding is made up cast iron or copper or HSS.
Other Requirements
Other Requirement for injection molding process is the making the mold of tool of the
machine by general operation like lathe,milling,drilling,shaper or it can be done in the CNC
machine.

3. Introduction
Tool design & manufacturing capabilities of the group are a key to its ability to provide full
system solutions. The group has collaborations with Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Japan and
Center Tooling, Australia for tool design & manufacturing.
The tool rooms specialize in high precision, multi cavity, small, medium and large size
tools capable of running on injection molding machines upto 3200 tonnes.
Tool manufacturing is done on state-of-the-art CNC machines. In-house proving & tryout
facilities on injection molding machines are in tandem with tool manufacturing facilities.
The complete range of services from tool design to tool manufacturing and injection
molding under one roof make the group a Total Tooling Solutions provider.
A successful application of an engineering thermoplastic requires more than identifying a
specific product or grade. Three areas design, product, process are all interrelated and
the appropriate rules in each area must be followed to ensure a successful application. In
most cases, the process must be determined before a specific resin grade can be selected.
During this review, designers also need to consider whether the process is capable of
meeting the design requirements such as size, shape, detail and tolerance.
The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector
mold (B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold; the
sprue bushing is to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection barrel of the molding
machine and to allow molten plastic to flow from the barrel into the mold, also known as
the cavity. The sprue bushing directs the molten plastic to the cavity images through
channels that are machined into the faces of the A and B plates. These channels allow
plastic to run along them, so they are referred to as runners. The molten plastic flows
through the runner and enters one or more specialized gates and into the cavity geometry to
form the desired part.
Molds are built through two main methods: standard machining and EDM.
Standard machining, in its conventional form, has historically been the method of building
injection molds. With technological development, CNC machining became the
predominant means of making more complex molds with more accurate mold details in
less time than traditional methods.
The electrical discharge machining (EDM) or spark erosion process has become widely
used in mold making. As well as allowing the formation of shapes that are difficult to
machine, the process allows pre-hardened molds to be shaped so that no heat treatment is
required. Changes to a hardened mold by conventional drilling and milling normally
require annealing to soften the mold, followed by heat treatment to harden it again. EDM is
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
a simple process in which a shaped electrode, usually made of copper or graphite, is very
slowly lowered onto the mold surface (over a period of many hours), which is immersed in
paraffin oil (kerosene).
3.1 Document Outline
1. What is injection molding ?
Injection molding is a method to obtain molded products by injecting plastic materials
molten by heat into a mold, and then cooling and solidifying them.
The method is suitable for the mass production of products with complicated shapes,
and takes a large part in the area of plastic processing.
The process of injection molding is divided into 6 major steps as shown below.
1. Clamp
ing
2. Injecti
on
3. Dwell
ing
4. Cooli
ng
5. Mold
opening
6. Remo
val of products
The process is proceeded as shown above and products can be made successively by
repeating the cycle.


2. Injection molding machine
Injection molding machine is divided into 2 units i.e. a clamping unit and an injection
unit.
The functions of the clamping unit are opening and closing a die, and the ejection of
products. There are 2 types of clamping methods, namely the toggle type shown in the
figure below and the straight-hydraulic type in which a mold is directly opened and closed
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
with a hydraulic cylinder.
The functions of the injection unit are to melt plastic by heat and then to inject molten
plastic into a mold.
The screw is rotated to melt plastic introduced from the hopper and to accumulate
molten plastic in front of the screw ( to be called metering ) . After the required amount of
molten plastic is accumulated, injection process is stared.
While molten plastic is flowing in a mold, the machine controls the moving speed of the
screw, or injection speed. On the other hand, it controls dwell pressure after molten plastic
fills out cavities.
The position of change from speed control to pressure control is set at the point where
either screw position or injection pressure reaches a certain fixed value.
3. Mold
A mold is a hollow metal block into which molten plastic is injected to from a certain
fixed shape. Although they are not illustrated in the figure shown below, actually there are
many holes drilled in the block for temperature control by means of hot water, oil or
heaters.
Molten plastic flows into a mold through a sprue and fills cavities by way of runners and
gates. Then, the mold is opened after cooling process and the ejector rod of the injection
molding machine pushes the ejector plate of the mold to further eject moldings.
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME

4. Molding
A molding consists of a sprue to introduce molten resin, a runner to lead it to cavities,
and products. Since obtaining only one product by one shot is very inefficient, a mold is
usually designed to have multiple cavities connected with a runner so that many products
can be made by one shot.
If the length of the runner to each cavity is different in this case, the cavities may not be
filled simultaneously, so that dimensions, appearances or properties of the moldings are
often different cavity by cavity. Therefore the runner is usually designed so as to have the
same length from the sprue to each cavity.

3.2.1 Introduction
Purpose:
The purpose of the injection molding is used to produce thin-walled plastic parts for
a wide variety of applications, one of the most common being plastic housings.
Plastic housing is a thin-walled enclosure, often requiring many ribs and bosses on
the interior. These housings are used in a variety of products including household
appliances, consumer electronics, power tools, and as automotive dashboards. Other
common thin-walled products include different types of open containers, such as
buckets. Injection molding is also used to produce several everyday items such as
toothbrushes or small plastic toys. Many medical devices, including valves and
syringes, are manufactured using injection molding as well.
Scope:
Injection molding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging,
bottle caps, automotive dashboards, pocket combs, some musical instruments (and
parts of them), one-piece chairs and small tables, storage containers, mechanical
parts (including gears), and most other plastic products available today. Injection
molding is the most common method of part manufacturing. It is ideal for producing
high volumes of the same object.
[5]
Some advantages of injection molding are high
production rates, repeatable high tolerances, the ability to use a wide range of
materials, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses, and little need to finish parts after
molding. Some disadvantages of this process are expensive equipment investment,
potentially high running costs, and the need to design moldable parts.
Summary:
There is no mystery in injection moulding of plastics. Each and every phenomenon has its
scientific reasons. Since injection moulding involves Polymers, Mould and Machinery, it is
necessary to understand all of them; their role and their limitations. We explore in this book

Cavity pressure profile, pvT diagram, Shear thinning of plastics, Flow mechanism-
simultaneous flow and freeze of melt with skin formation and fountain flow.
We also appreciated the root cause of most of the quality problems lie with three balancing
tricks in the process.
Flow balance in part,
Heat balance in mould,
Uniform freezing in mould.
Moulding process in this book is not discussed in lay man's point of view but it is
discussed in terms of physics of plastic melt, which is best described by pvT
characteristic, shear thinning characteristic and orientation characteristic of melt.
This book provides technical perspective to the process that is relevant to
understand CAE technologies. You can develop skills to visualise the happenings
inside the Screw-Barrel and inside the Mould. This knowledge can help you to
understand the root causes of all the quality related problems.

Myths and Truth clarifies the most misunderstood aspects in the industry..
3.2.2 System Overview
Injection molding of plastics is one of the most cost effective processes for manufacture of
parts in volume. While mold costs can be significant, amortization over many parts can
make the overall cost of injection molding highly competitive with other manufacturing
processes. The wide range of available polymers multiplied by the huge array of specific
blends offer a tremendous range of physical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties.
Engineering plastics, classified by mechanical properties such as stiffness, toughness, and
low creep, increasingly replace metals on a cost and performance evaluation.
Designing for injection molded plastics requires planning. Too often parts will be presented
to a molder or tool designer late in the product development process only to be confronted
with feasibility issues. If that happens the developer faces decisions to rework part designs
or to face higher tooling and part costs. Leaving design for manufacturing and assembly
(DMFA) considerations until late in the development program is a common mistake the
misses out on optimization and disrupts the transition to manufacturing.
Planning begins in preliminary design. Some will argue that consideration for
manufacturing early in the program will inhibit creativity; the reality is that it does not if
perspectives are kept in balance. In fact design committee often err in committing to a
design that later reveals feasibility and cost issues. While designers and engineers need to
be free to brainstorm potential solutions, taking time to evaluate for manufacturing options
is vital to assume a successful program.
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
Design concept modeling is a vital step in preliminary product design. Form and function
can be evaluated in blocked-out quick CAD studies. Drawings produced from 3D CAD
model studies can help evaluate the size, cost, and architecture of a proposed design.
Multiple preliminary model studies are a good use of time because many factors can be
evaluated after a few hours of work. Such studies can include component packaging, part
break out, and overall size and weight. Concept parts can be submitted for preliminary
price quotations. DMFA (design for manufacturing and assembly) has become a hot buzz
word in product development the truth is that consumer products manufacturers have been
doing DMFA for decades as a means of competitive survival.
Injection molding is particularly advantageous for assemblies wherein components can be
mounted using ribs and bosses inside the shell of the parts allowing to easy assembly most
commonly using screws, push nuts, snap latches, or heat staking. Components are
commonly captured between two shells. Consideration for assembly procedure in part
design is critical to reducing cost and boosting assembly line yields. In many industries,
cost competitiveness is key factor in market success. Secondary assembly operations can
include sonic insertion of threaded fasteners and plastic welding operations such as thermal
welding, ultra-sonic welding, spin welding, vibration and laser welding.
Consumer product industries were the first to focus on aesthetics for competitive advantage
wherein one product would out-sell another primarily because of form and function. The
field of Industrial Design sprung up wherein artistic individuals entered into product design
realm bring their drawing, rendering, model sculpting skills and aesthetic sensibilities into
the product development process. Early pioneer Raymond Loewy in the 1930s came from
the fashion industry and proved to be a fastidious designer with great attention of detail and
construction. Solid modeling CAD systems offer powerful 3D (three dimension) surface
modeling capabilities that can satisfy high expectations for appearance in the field of
Industrial Design. Surface modeling provides the tools to capture complex surface
geometries for seamless data transfer to machine tooling operations for injection molding.
CAD data is captured electronically and interpreted by CAM (computer-aided-machine)
operations. CAM software programs define specific cutter tool paths for efficient and
accurate cutting of mold cores and cavities. CAD/CAM processes can capture virtually any
surface configuration that a designer envisions. CAM data is used for CNC (computer-
numerical-control), EDM (electro-discharge-machining or spark erosion) and wire EDM
cutting methods.

4.1 Assumptions and Dependencies

4.2 General Constraints
To insure a quality final product, it is necessary to start out with quality components.
Injection molded parts can be molded to a high quality standard by focusing on these areas
of plastic technology:
1)Correct Part Design
2)Accurate Selection of Material
3) Processing Plastic Processing
4.3 Goals and Guidelines
1 Use uniform wall thicknesses throughout the part. This will minimize sinking, warping,
residual stresses, and improve mold fill and cycle times.
Wall Section Considerations
Voids and Shrinkage
Warpage
Page 6 of 54
Feasibility Report / ME
2 Use generous radius at all corners. The inside corner radius should be a minimum of one
material thickness.
Radius Limitations
3 Use the least thickness compliant with the process, material, or product design
requirements. Using the least wall thickness for the process ensures rapid cooling, short
cycle times, and minimum shot weight. All these result in the least possible part cost.
4 Design parts to facilitate easy withdrawal from the mold by providing draft (taper) in the
direction of mold opening or closing.
Draft and Texture
5 Use ribs or gussets to improve part stiffness in bending. This avoids the use of thick
section to achieve the same, thereby saving on part weight, material costs, and cycle
time costs.

6. Glossary System Architecture
1. Granules of plastic powder (note the plastics listed above) are poured or fed into a
hopper which stores it until it is needed.
2. A heater heats up the tube and when it reaches a high temperature a screw thread starts
turning.
3. A motor turns a thread which pushes the granules along the heater section which melts
then into a liquid. The liquid is forced into a mould where it cools into the shape (in this
case a DVD storage unit).
4. The mould then opens and the unit is removed.
