ABSTRACT
This deals with design and analysis of two plate mould injection mould tool. The objective of this is to design two plate mould tool and analyze the material flow of the selected product. This describes the material flow analysis to analyzed the material flow in the part and identify the best gate locations of the components. The structural three-dimensional solid modeling of two plate mould was developed using the computer-aided drawing software. The strategy of analysis model was developed. The material flow and gate location analysis was then performed using Mould Flow low Plastic Insight software. The analysis model of the component was analyzed using the single cavities with cold runner design. It is observed that the analysis using Mould flow material flow analysis show the different orientation skin for different gate locations. Based on the analysis, improvement has been made to the part design and feed systems in the mould. This includes the location of the gate at the part design, size of sprue, runners and gates. From the analysis also, Plastic insight5 software helps to determine the part defects that might occurred during plastic injection moulding process such as Short shot, unequal filling, over filling, welding lines and others. From that, the optimum parameters setting are selected in order to get a quality plastic. So this will explain the plastic flow analysis clearly. The final design was done in solid modeling and details drawing using Solid Works software. The results can also significantly reduce the cost and time to fabricate the Tool. That is also can be a reference for the future works of fabrications.
