THE DESIGN OF A PLASTIC INJECTION MOLD FOR THE PART “TENSILE TEST SPECIMEN”

Camelia MORAR, Adrian POPESCU

Abstract


This paper presents the process of manufacturing an injection mold, starting with the design of the part, the design for the cavity plate, followed by the simulation of the injection molding process and the establishment of the manufacturing process. Our aim was to design a mold for the injection of tensile test specimens made from polyamide 6.6. In order to achieve this, after the dimensioning of the mold cavity, we created three design solutions in the Solid Works software and simulated the injection molding process for them using the Simulation Mold Flow software, after which we made the simulation for the manufacturing of the cavity plates using the Solid CAM software. After conducting all the simulations, we were able to find the best solution for the design of the injection mold.

Key words: plastic injection, injection mold, polyamide, molding process, mold design.
