    Capability Database of Injection Molding Process—Requirements Study for Wider Suitability and Higher Accuracy

    By Boorla S Murthy, Tobias Eifler, Jens Dines O. Jepsen, Thomas J. Howard

    Abstract: AbstractGenerally, there is little disagreement that an early consideration of dimensional accuracies achieved in production is conducive to the success of development of injection molding products. While different process capability databases (PCDBs) provide guidance for a meaningful estimation of the expected part variation, the adoption of corresponding guidelines and (proprietary) software tools seems to be, however, limited in industrial practice so far. This research paper addresses the gap between the …

    Mass Production Tools and Process Readiness for Uniform Parts—Injection Molding Application

    By Boorla S Murthy, Tobias Eifler, Thomas J. Howard, Chris McMahon

    Abstract: A mass production always aims to produce uniform performing products. Production tools such as pressing dies, casting dies and injection moulds, play a significant role by producing uniform parts for achieving final products. Tool complexity increases when multiple cavities are present. These tools pass through several stages of quality maturation, before starting production, where the tool capability for part uniformity can be assessed, corrected and aligned to mass production variables. …
