Abstract:
For parts made of plastics, injection molding is a common manufacturing process. Warpage and residual stress induced during the injection molding process have very important influences on the mechanical performance of injection products. In this paper, an integrative analysis of the injection molding process and mechanical performance of plastic parts is proposed. This integrative approach incorporates the effects of the manufacturing process in the mechanical simulation: (a) firstly, the finite element package MoldFlow is used to simulate the injection molding process and obtain the warpage and residual stress results. (b) Then the finite element model of plastic part including the process induced warpage and residual stress is established. Explicit dynamic finite element program LS-DYNA is used to simulate the mechanical behaviors of the molded part. Based on the integrative analysis, the influences of injection molding process parameters on mechanical behavior of a PC windshield against impact loading are studied.

Abstract:
High demand for plastic worldwide has resulted in increasing environmental pollution. To make the plastic manufacturing process more environmentally friendly, recycling of waste plastic must be considered. In view of this a social enterprise called Me.reka Makerspace aims to use waste plastic to produce recycled plastic products using injection molding. However, injection molding is a complex process. In the past Me.reka experienced numerous failures resulting in defective plastic products and cost wastage. To assist with Me.reka’s objective, this study aimed to recommend a process capable of producing good quality recycled plastic products that meet dimensional accuracy and surface roughness requirements. Literature review done on plastic waste separation techniques, plastic properties testing for injection molding, and ventilation systems. Manual plastic sorting was found to be the best for Me.reka, where it can separate all 7 types of plastics collected by Me.reka with the highest accuracy and efficiency and the lowest cost. The melt flow rate of specific plastic type can determine its compatibility for use in the injection molding machine. Furthermore this study found that the best ventilation system for Me.reka Makerspace’s plastic injection molding facility was the displacement ventilation. It is expected that with the installation of an efficient ventilation system, the hazardous gasses produced during the process will be efficiently expelled thus protecting the health of workers. With regards to injection molding, a mold design was made for a book cover mold by applying the applicable mold design principles. However, this mold was later sent for testing at another facility. A flowerpot mold that had arrived at Me.reka which required immediate testing was tested instead. Through testing, improvements were made to the mold and the molding process by finding out the optimum injection molding temperature for the waste plastic used and the mold sprue diameter required to produce a well formed molding.

Abstract:
Molded Interconnect Device (MID) can be defined as that an injection-molded plastic part combining with electrical and mechanical functions in a single device. This study is to examine the application of micro injection molding technology to the two-component molding process for the MID fabrication. The process involves the first shot of a plastic component with channel patterns on the surface. A second shot by micro injection molding technology is applied to fill the channel with the plateable plastics. The effects of the micro injection molding process parameters on filled line width of the two-component MID will be investigated. It is concluded that, for a MID component, the molding conditions must be designed carefully to keep the thickness variation below the allowable value. It is also found from the experiments that the thickness interference may in the range from 92 m to 196 m to have adequate molding at the second shot.

Abstract:
Texturing is an engineering technology that can be used to enable surface functionalization in the plastics injection molding industry. A texture is defined as the geometrical modification of the topography by addition of surface features that are characterized by a smaller scale than the overall surface dimensions. Texturing is added to products to create novel functionalities of plastic products and tools, which can be exploited to modify interactions with other materials in contact with the surface. The geometry, dimensions, and positioning on the surface define the function of a texture and its properties. This work reviews and discuss the wide range of texturing technologies available in the industry. The advantages and limitations of each technology are presented to support the development of new surface engineering applications in the plastics manufacturing industry.

Injection moulding is a process by which molten polymer is forced into an empty cavity of the desired shape. At its melting point, polymers undergo a volumetric expansion when heated, and volumetric contraction when cooled. This volumetric contraction is called shrinkage. Once the mould cavity is filled, more pressure is applied and additional polymer is packed into the cavity and held to compensate for the anticipated shrinkage as the polymer solidifies. The cooling takes place via the cooling channels where the polymer is cooled until a specific ejection criterion is met. Heat from the polymer is lost to the surrounding mould, a part of this heat reaches the cooling channel surfaces, which in turn exchange heat with the circulating cooling fluid. Due to the complexity of injection moulded parts and the cooling channel layout, it is difficult to achieve balanced cooling of parts. Asymmetric mould temperature distribution causes contractions of• the polymer as it cools from its melting temperature to room temperature. This results in residual stresses, which causes the part to warp after ejection. Given the understanding of the mathematical model describing the heat transfer process during the cooling stage, the objectives of this study were three fold. Firstly, an alternative numerical model for the heat transfer process was developed. The proposed model was used to investigate the cooling stress build-up during the injection moulding process.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the fabrication of plastic microneedle devices, their fabrication by injection molding, and analysis of the penetration mechanics. Injection molding is an economical mass-production technique that may encourage widespread adoption of microneedles for drug delivery. Four polymers were injection molded into hexagonal and square patterns of between 91 and 100 needles per array. The patterns and geometries were chosen to study the effect of needle spacing and array design on penetration force. Two needle spacings of approximately 1 mm and 1.5 mm were employed for both patterns. Molded parts showed tip radii below 15 microns, heights of 600 to 750 microns, and an included angle of approximately 30 degrees. An economic analysis performed of the injection molded polymer devices showed that they can be manufactured for approximately $0.10 - $0.179 per part, which should be low enough to gain market acceptance. The added benefits of low pain perception, improved drug delivery for certain treatments, and the possibly of being recyclable make injection molded micro-needle devices a desirable alternative to silicon or metal microneedles. Penetration tests were performed with plastic micro-needle arrays and arrays of steel needles of the same spacings and patterns. Silicone rubber with mechanical properties similar to human skin was used as a skin simulant. The results showed that the micro-needles penetrated skin to depths between 120 and 185 microns depending on pattern, spacing, tip radius and needle length. This depth is sufficient to deliver drug therapies, but not so far that they stimulate the nerve endings present beyond 130 microns inside the dermis layer in human skin. An analytical model was developed to estimate the effects of various microneedle and skin characteristics on penetration force. The model was based on literature sources and derived from test results. The model accounted for coefficient of friction, tip radius, tip angle, and needle spacing, as well as the skin mimic's mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, mode I fracture toughness, and puncture fracture toughness. A Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to correct for errors in needle length and testing angle. Comparison of the experiments to the model showed good agreement.

Abstract:
Plastic recycling is a recovery process of waste plastics to make new products into different forms. Plastics are usually sorted based on their resin identification codes before the recycling and melting processes. Although the recycling rate of plastics is significantly high, properties and economical value of the recycled plastics are fairly low, which in turn limits the use of recycled plastics in the market. In the present study, high density polyethylene (HDPE) in the form of pellets was dissolved in toluene, and then nanoscale graphene inclusions at different loadings (e.g., 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4%) were added into the polymeric solutions. The remaining solvent was removed from the nanocomposite before the injection molding process. The injection molding process was conducted on the chopped recycled plastics associated with graphene loadings. The dielectric and electric properties of plastic nanocomposites were studied in detail. The test results showed that the dielectric properties were slightly improved by the addition of inclusions, which may be due to the non-polar nature of HDPE and/or residues in the recycled plastics. However, electrical conductivities of nanocomposites were significantly increased because of the improved electrical conduction, polarization and electron mobility at room temperature.

Abstract:
Plastic components are vital components of many engineered products, frequently representing 20–40% of the product value. While injection molding is the most common process for economically producing complex designs in large quantities, a large initial monetary investment is required to develop appropriate tooling. Accordingly, injection molding may not be appropriate for applications that are not guaranteed to recoup the initial costs. This paper extends previous work [1] with component cost and lead-time models developed from extensive industry data. The application is an electrical enclosure consisting of two parts produced by a variety of low to high volume manufacturing processes including CNC machining, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, vacuum casting, direct fabrication, and injection molding with soft prototype and production tooling. The viability of each process is compared for production quantities of one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand. The results indicate that the average cost per enclosure assembly is highly sensitive to the production quantity, varying in range from US$0.35 per enclosure for ten thousand assemblies produced via injection molding to US$49.30 per enclosure for one hundred assemblies produced via fused deposition modeling. The results indicate the cost and lead time advantages of the alternative processes; a flow chart is provided to assist process selection in engineering design.

Accordingly, injection molding may not be appropriate for applications that are not guaranteed to recoup the initial costs. In this paper, component cost and lead-time models are developed from industry data for an electrical enclosure consisting of two parts produced by a variety of low to medium volume manufacturing processes including fused deposition modeling, direct fabrication, and injection molding with used tooling, soft prototype tooling, and hard tooling. The viability of each process is compared with respect to the manufacturing cost and lead time for specific production quantities of one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand. The results indicate that the average cost per enclosure assembly is highly sensitive to the production quantity, varying in range from $243 per enclosure for quantity one hundred to $0.52 per enclosure for quantity ten thousand. The most appropriate process varies greatly with the desired production quantity and cost/lead time sensitivity. As such, a probabilistic analysis was utilized to evaluate the effect of uncertain demand and market delays, the result of which demonstrated the importance of maintaining supply chain flexibility by minimizing initial cost and lead time.

Abstract The objective of this work was to develop a numerical simulation tool that is able to predict the processing window for thin-wall plastic parts made by the injection molding process. This performance predictor links the processing conditions (filling time, resin inlet melt temperature, and so on) to the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of the part, using empirical data developed for the thermal and shear degradation behavior of the resin. Usage of such a performance predictor will help to expedite the long process development cycle time and to reduce the potentially expensive tooling costs associated with the thin-wall segment of the plastics business.

Abstract:
Abstract In this project, we would like to explore the viability of using 3D printed injection molds to cost-effectively produce low-volume production runs. These 3D printed molds are much more cost-effective than traditional methods, however, the 3D printed molds often only withstand 50–100 cycles. Research is needed to determine how to improve the durability of the molds. This can be accomplished by measuring and documenting how injection molds made from various plastics, and various 3D printing technologies, react under the stresses of an injection molding machine. We can develop a case study using 4 different types of plastics that can be used to create the 3D printed mold. The 3 plastics would be Formlabs Ridged 10k Resin, Formlabs Clear v4, and Formlabs Tough 2000 Resin. These materials will be printed using various 3D printing technologies. This paper will focus on a literature review of the positives and negatives of 3D printing additively manufactured injection molding tooling and propose potential solutions for many of the negatives of 3D printed molds. The case study portion will be based on how we are planning to perform the case study, but it has not yet been completed.
