Allwin Arulanandan.K, Ramesha.N

Abstract: Injection moulding is process of manufacturing plastics products from both thermo and thermosetting plastic materials. This paper presents the part modeling, design of core-cavity and side core by using SOLID WORKS 2012, the mould flow analysis is carried out by MOLD FLOW ADVISOR 2105 and static structural analysis performed using ANSYS V14.5. The mould tool is of single cavity mould and material planned for producing the component is polypropylene (pp)

Keywords: injection moulding, core-cavity, plastic material, mould flow and static structural analysis
