Design Methodology and Analysis of Double Cavity Metal-Plastic-Insert Injection Molding Die for Push Board Pin

Abstract

Properties like high strength, light weight and moldability grants vital use of plastics in manufacturing industries, especially for mass production of products. Injection molding dies are often called plastic molds, are one of the tools for processing plastics to desired shape. It is very easy to understand and perform processes like injection molding to obtain plastic products. But dies developed by correct design steps only can produce defect free products. Insert injection molding is a type of injection molding process in which metal inserts are incorporated in process of injection molding and later they becomes part of product. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodology involved with design and development of injection molding die for Push Board Pin. Software used for modeling of parts is UG Nx 8.0 and that for the simulation of process parameters is Autodesk Moldflow Adviser.
