Abstract

The quality of a plastic product is determined by the material used, the mold design, and the processing conditions. The objectives of a mold design consist of a mold cooling system, a runner system, and associated gate locations with their types and sizes, and cavity design. Meanwhile, the most important processing conditions during the fill phase are the mold temperature, the melt temperature, and the filling time. In this paper, we use genetic algorithm to optimize molding conditions, which consist of the mold temperature, the melt temperature, and the filling time, based upon the results from flow simulation.
