Plastic injection molding simulation
Numerical analysis is performed to predict product defects and equipment requirements in advance by theoretically calculating flow patterns, pressure, temperature, and other numerical values as the resin flows through the mold.
Necessity of Simulation
Plastic injection molding requires a very large mold. When heat is applied to the plastic, it plasticizes and melts to develop fluidity. However, the molten plastic is extremely viscous and difficult to flow. Injection molding of plastics requires a large amount of pressure to make the resin flow through the mold. The pressure needs to be several hundred kgf per square centimeter, which can deform the metal mold. Since molds are expensive and parts cannot be produced if they are damaged, simulation is used to predict such problems in advance and take countermeasures.
