Introduction
Injectionmouldingisoneofthemostimportantpolymerprocessingoperationsinindustrytoday.Itissuperiorformassproductionofcomplexpartstohighprecisionatlowcost.Foralongtime,experience,intuitionandtrialanderrorhavebeenkeyfactorsinmoulddesigning,mouldmanufacturingandmouldingoperation.Theseapproacheshavebecomeincreasinglyinefficientandcostly,especiallywhenappliedtothemouldingoflargepartsandpartsofhighprecisionortotheprocessingofnewkindsofpolymers.NowsomeoftheseproblemsarebeingsolvedsuccessfullybycombiningrecentadvancesinCAD,CAEandCAMtechnology.
InrecentyearsmoreandmoreCAD/CAE/CAMsystemsforinjectionmouldinghavebeendevelopedanddeliveredinWesternindustrializedcountries,suchasC-MOULD3.1ofACTechnologyInc.intheUSA,CAD-MOULDofIKVinGermany,McKAM-llofMcCillUniversityinCanada,andMoldFlowinAustralia.Withthehelpofthesesoftwarepackagestheproductivityandqualityofinjectionmouldedpartscanbeimprovedandthestart-uptimecanbeshortened.

FunctionofCADmodules
ThetaskofCADmodulesistotransformthedrawingsofinjectionmouldedpartsintothedrawingsofmouldpartsefficientlyandprovidenecessarydataforsimulationandNCmodules.Duetocomplexcavities,asurfacemodellingprogramhasbeenevelopedforgraphicinput.Planes,regularsurfacesandbi-cubicsurfacescanbecreatedeasily.Theco-ordinatesofpointsonsurfaces
canbecalculatedbytheprogramusingdimensionsofthepartdrawingandtheco-ordinatesofthepointsinputbefore.Whilethepartdrawingisbeinginputonesurfaceafteranother,thedimensionsofthepartwillbetransformedintothedimensionsofthecavityandcorethroughinteraction.Thedataforthecavityandcorearerecordedforbothmoulddesignandsimulation.

FunctionofCAEmodules
CAEmodulesincludetheinterfacebetweenCADandCAEmodules,mechanicalcheckformouldplates,runnerbalanceanalysis,flowsimulationandcoolingsimulation.WiththehelpoftheseCAEmodulesthemouldconstructiondesigncanbeimprovedandpossibledefectsininjectionmouldedpartssuchasdegradation,shortshots,andimproperlocationofweldlinescanbeaddressedbeforemouldmaking.
TheinterfacebetweenCADandCAEmodulesreadsthegeometricmodelofcavityanddeliverysystemwhichisproducedatthepreviousCADstageandgeneratesFEMmeshautomatically.Usingtheinterface,userscanalsoselectpolymer,coolant,mouldmaterialandsetprocessconditionssuchasinjectiontemperature,injectiontime,coolanttemperatureetc.Theinterfacereadsthepropertydataofthematerialsfromthedatabankandwritesthemeshconfiguration,materialpropertiesandprocessconditionsintodatafileswhicharetheinputsfortheCAEmodulesdescribedbelow.
Currentlythesystemusesa2Dfinite-elementmethod(FEM)toanalysethemouldplate'sstrengthandrigidityforatypicalmouldcross-section.Ananalysisprogrambasedona3DFEMisunderdevelopment.
Inordertoguaranteethesamequalitiesoftheinjectionmouldedpartsproducedinmulti-cavities,eachcavitymustbefilledsimultaneouslyatthesamepressureandtemperature.Thisrequirestherunnersystemtobebalanced.InHSC-1.1thebalancecanbereachedbycorrectingthedimensionsofrunnersandgatesdesignedbyusersatthepreliminarydesignstagewhicharemostprobablynotbalanced.
