Abstract Aiming at the problem that a thin-walled plastic part easily produces warpage, an orthogonal experimental method was used for multiparameter coupling analysis, with mold structure parameters and injection molding process parameters considered synthetically. The plastic part deformation under different experiment schemes was comparatively studied, and the key factors affecting the plastic part warpage were analyzed. Then the injection molding process was optimized. The results showed that the important order of the influence factors for the plastic part warpage was packing pressure, packing time, cooling plan, mold temperature, and melt temperature. Among them, packing pressure was the most significant factor. The optimal injection molding process schemes reducing the plastic part warpage were melt temperature (260°C), mold temperature (60°C), packing pressure (150 MPa), packing time (2 s), and cooling plan 3. In this situation, the forming plate flatness was better.

This paper reports an simulation study to improve the shrinkage of plastic automobile part by optimizing the injection molding parameters using the Taguchi-TOPSIS method. The Reverse Engineering(RE) and rapid prototyping (RP) technique were used to modelling and createing a prototype model of plastic automobile part. Employing the finite element software, MoldFlow Plastic Insight, the effect of injection parameters on the warpage and shrinkage of plastic part were examined carefully. The simulation results show that Taguchi-TOPSIS method provided an outstanding result for the optimization of injection parameters to produce minimum volumetric shrinkage. The injection parameter of melt temperature was the most significant parameter that influences the warpage and volumetric shrinkage for plastic automobile part in this study.

The design of injection die on the upper cover of clamshell phone is introduced. The dual-plate die has side gate for opposite glue injection, the parts are ejected by ejector pin, the side reversed buckle contains three blocks, the reversed buckle at flip shaft consists of two inner sliders, and all the eight inner reversed buckles are made up of inclined pushing rods, and the cooling system embraces "U" shaped cooling waterway. Its application in practice has proved the reasonable die structure, smooth remolding, and qualified plastic part design.
