“…Nowadays, many sophisticated software packages are available, which can simulate, analyze, and generate injection molding data based on selected input and output parameters. Numerous works using such software packages have been reported, e.g., Moldflow ® in the fabrication of window frames using rice husk filled polyethylene composites [94], Moldflow ® combined with Autodesk Inventor r for modeling and simulating shallow and flat thin walled molds of a polymer composite [5,6], Moldflow ® to determine significant parameters affecting the shrinkage of molded components [69], Moldflow ® to study material distribution and melt flow behaviour in sandwich molding process [92], Moldflow ® combined with the Taguchi method to determine the optimal design parameters by minimizing the warpage of gas assisted molding components [14], and Moldflow ® integrated with the Taguchi method to study the effects of processing parameters on the molding of ultra-thin wall polymer components [102]. Apart from that, Moldflow ® was applied to some other similar works also, e.g., simulation of feedstock properties for powder injection molding of thermal management devices [86], feedstock properties and injection molding simulations of bimodal mixtures [49], measurements of powder-polymer mixture properties and their use in powder injection molding simulations [48], powder injection molding of ceramic engine components for transportation [61], effects of nanoparticle addition on processing of alloys [85], powder injection molding of parts for UAV engine components [74], etc.…”
