The injection molding process is seen to be one of a versatile and important manufacturing process. This is due to its ability in producing product with complicated design and producing part in large quantity. The advantages of this process had caused an active research on its quality improvement and process. This paper reviews the part quality issues happened in the processes. Along with the reviews of the parameters which affects the defects occurrences. Besides that, recycled plastic application in injection molding process was also reviewed. At the end, it is seen that as compared to other thermoplastic materials, LDPE is least popular and discussed as a subject of research. This paper organizes past research studies in few categories firstly the defects occurrences in plastic injection molding, followed by application of recycled material in molding plastic part, application of optimization method in injection molding, next the application of LDPE material in molding plastic part. Lastly, this paper ends with a brief summary and future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
