S B.I.T, Barshi, Solapur, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Mold flow simulation helps designers to see how their designs will be resulted after injection molding process without needing to do the Injection Molding process. The use of simulation programs saves time and reduces the costs of the Molding system design. Injection molding design simulation holds an important role in analyzing the outcome of the design. In this paper plastic toy building block part is analyzed and studied to solve the problems frequent rejections due to as shrinkage, weld lines, air traps, and sink marks. All the designs were simulated with Autodesk Mold flow Adviser. Autodesk Simulation Mold flow effectively eliminates the use of trial and error method by validating and optimizing the design of plastic before production. This not only improves the quality but also help us to guide about the selection of machines and the production planning. Keywords: Injection moulding, Mould design, Mold flow simulation, Optimization Plastic Injection mould, Mould Flow Plastic Advisor (MPA) 1. INTRODUCTION Injection Moulding is one of the common methods to do the mass-production of plastic product. Thermoplastics are science's gift to the toy industry. They can be melted at fairly low temperatures, molded in colors with fine detail, and stand up well to play wear because of their resilience.. Injection moulding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection moulding, which vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. Injection Molding is the way most of our plastic toys are created. The material is injected under pressure into a two-part mold. The material is allowed to cool, the mold is opened, and the solid product inside is ejected into a collection hopper. Common problems associated with injection molding are numerous editor@iaeme.com
2 2. COMPUTER AIDED SIMULATION Nowadays, Computer Aided Design is not limited to sketching and drafting, but also helps to create analysable models as needed for computer based process simulation. Moldflow software, used solution for Digital Prototyping, provides injection molding simulation tools for use on digital prototypes. Providing in-depth validation and optimization of plastic parts and associated injection molds, Moldflow software helps study the injection molding processes in use today. The Autodesk Simulation Moldflow results help to identify the main problem areas before the part is manufactured that are particularly difficult to predict with traditional methods. In conventional optimization process includes actual shop floor trials in which pattern, feeder size, shape and location cores, mould layout, gating etc are required to be changed in each iteration which is associated with machining cost, tooling cost, modification cost, melting cost, fettling and transportation cost as well as energy, materials, time are wasted in each trial until and unless the required results are obtained. Analysis is essential for designing and mould making through simulation step-up and result interpretation to show how changes to wall thickness, gate location, material and geometry affects manufacturability and also experiments with what-if scenarios before finalizing a design. Injection Moulding simulation software into the mould design process in order to analyze the product, foresee the possible defects, and optimize the design to achieve the maximum outcome of the products with minimum cycle time in each production cycle. 3. PROBLEM DEFINITION Here a plastic toy building block of 60 mm leangth, 34 mm width and 1 mm thick is analysed by taking different cases of Model and optimize runner. gating, sprue systems Determine potential part defects, such as weld lines, air traps, and sink marks, and then rework designs to avoid these problems. Create feed systems based on inputs for layout, size, and type of components, such as sprue, runners, and gates. 4. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK 1. To analyze the behaviour of Thermoplastic material during the production cycle from the filling phase until the ejection phase. 2. To foresee the possible problem for a product design; and therefore able to op-timize the design in the mould design process. 3. To achieve the minimum production cycle time 4.

So model is redesigned for unform wall thiknes 1mm.Then simulation result shows better quality of part. 2) After fill analysis shows part have lower quality for LDPE material and high quality for ABS material.different four cases of runner sprue and gate system are analyzed by using ABS material for plasic toy. 3) In case IV have large filling time and more runner system volume so wastage of material is high. Case II have lower filling time but more shrinkage. 4) Case I have lower cycle time, high confidence of fill, high quality. So have good optimum design solution for defect free part. 8. CONCLUSION The filling time and the cooling time of a four cavity design does not increase to four times longer than having a single cavity. So the cycle time for four cavities design is the most optimum and efficient to be used in the production process. The analysis work shows the parameters such as sink marks, fill time, weld line, air traps etc. that will affects the quality of the finished product. Plastic Flow Simulation Simulate the flow of melted plastic to help optimize part and mold designs, reduce potential part defects, and improve the molding process and decrease the cycle time and to improve the Quality of the Product.
