Abstract: process parameters; surface gloss; Rapid Heat Cycle Molding Abstract: Rapid Heat Cycle Molding is a novel injection molding, which may improve product surface quality effectively. In this paper, one-factor experimental design and Taguchi method were used and the influence of different process parameters (mold heating temperature, melt temperature, injection rate, injection pressure, and packing pressure) on surface gloss of injection product was studied. The results showed that temperature is the significant factor to the surface gloss. Mold heating temperature is principal factor in mold process parameters, while the melt temperature is the secondary factor and injection pressure is the least. The surface gloss increases with increasing mold heating temperature, melt temperature, injection rate through whole processing, while it increases to top then decreases with increasing injecting and packing pressure

Abstract: In this article, some common defects, which are caused by material properties, and the mechanism of the defects occur are introduced. Author introduces how these defects are treated in conventional process, meanwhile, points out the disadvantages of the process. For the disadvantages, several special processes are introduced, including gas-assisted injection molding, rapid variotherm injection molding and hot runner technology, and their mechanism and advantages.

Abstract: This paper briefly introduced the principle of Rapid Heat Cycle Molding. Researches and applications of Rapid Heat Cycle Molding were reviewed, and heating method and mold structure were emphatically studied. At last the exiting problems and trend were proposed.

Abstract: The function of injection molding process is described in the quality, function and costs of injection products from the definition of function. Detailed analysis and evaluation are taken to investigate these three aspects, and the aspect of injection products quality is principally discussed. The analysis and evaluation of injection molding process function will be kept as the judgment of quality of the process.

Abstract: This paper present a cooling simulation method for External Gas-assisted Injection Molding (EGAIM). To simulate the cooling process of EGAIM, a Finite Element Method model with heat transfer processing with isotropic materials containing inner heat source was established, and pressure was loaded on the interface of mold and part as gas packing pressure. The simulation was used to explore the effect of process parameters on the quality of an example with different thickness ribs with ANSYS. The results showed the method is feasible and reliable.

Abstract: The forklift design is a creative activity based on the complexity of knowledge and experience. To fully use the successful experience and knowledge of forklift’s design which have been in using and shorten the period of forklift’s development, to enhance the rapid response ability of enterprises to the markets, we put forward the method of forklift’s design reuse based on CBR, at the same time; develop the overall design system of forklift----HCDesign. Furthermore, we analyze the functions, structures and the implementation module of the system to study some of the key technique, using the case to verify the system’s validity.

Abstract: Most of the input of parametric design system is the specific structure parameter, which is in a detailed design stage. To promote it into conceptual stage, the function-structure mapping problem is proposed. To solve the problem, the function -structure mapping mechanism which is based on logical view and in the framework of axiomatic design is established, the mapping model is solved by optimization method and the mapping procedure is integrated with parametric design system. Function requirements are mapped into a parametric model directly. Finally, a forklift design process validates the method and shows its advantage.

Abstract: In this paper, the main molding process parameters which are relevant to warpage were optimized by orthogonal experiment and finite element software MPI. The result shows that we can get a series of optimized parameters and know how much each process parameter influences the warpage by combining orthogonal experiments with simulation experiments using MPI, while fewer experiments are needed. Verified by MPI, such series of optimized parameters can keep the warpage in a low level and completely meet the standard of the product.

Abstract: Product cost estimation in early design stage puzzles researchers for long-time. A new product cost estimation model is proposed, which is applicable for few estimating samples and product information in early design stage. Similarity between the estimating product and the samples are calculated by model of Euclidean distance. Both of utilization ratio of estimating samples and reliability of estimation result are improved based on samples’ sequencing for effect of product cost. The cost estimation model is applied in design of claw of brake disc. The estimation result indicates that the presented model can be used for condition of few estimating samples and product information in early design phase.

Abstract: The forming mechanism and optimization of the gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) process have been studied for several years, both at home and abroad. Some researches and experiments about GAIM is summarized in this paper. The GAIM's forming mechanism focuses on research of the filling, gas-assisted filling and gas-assisted packing and cooling stages. While the optimization of the GAIM process pays much more attention to one of the parameters affecting the molding quality.
