Designing an Injection Mould Using Advance CAD-CAM Programs

Abstract

This paper presents the design of plastic injection mould for producing a plastic product. The plastic part was designed into two different types of product, but in the same usage function. The mould was designed using the CAD program ProEngeneering Wildfire 3.0 and the DepoCam software was used to simulate the manufacturing time. The execution of the mould and the experiments were done at a private factory. Designing and simulating an injection mould before actually producing it is very useful in order to save time and cut manufacturing costs
