Design, fabrication and analysis of pen mold for injection molding machine

Injection molding is one of the best technique for the mass production. This study aims at optimizing the process by reducing the cycle time of pen or any such article mold. The research result was directed towards the objective of obtaining an optimal cycle time by varying the different process parameters of injection molding process. So far the study pen was designed in solid works software and then same was 3D printed. The dimensions of the 3D printed pen helped us in designing the mold of the pen. The actual mold was analyzed by fabricating a mold using wood. This practically helped us in knowing the whole process of injection molding much better as the different parts of the mold were understood properly. After analyzing the wooden mold the main mold was fabricated using high Strength Steel (HSS). The research helped us in understanding the behavior of flow of polymer in injection molding process for different parameters like Pressure, Injection time, Temperature, Ejection.
