Simulation of Compression Molding of Thermoplastics Using CAE Tools: Assessment of Operational Conditions for Mold Design Development

This study aims to develop a simulation-based research evaluate the influence of primary operational conditions on efficiency compression molding in processing thermoplastic parts mold design with no air venting. Moldflow Insight has been used simulate process assess quality range semi-crystalline and amorphous products, performance said mold. Simulation results were obtained by varying surface temperature, melt charge geometry mesh element size during thermoplastics like polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate. The findings showcased entrapment at corners cavity, which lowered when operated venting under varied conditions. indicated need introduce vents mold’s parting line. revealed that cycle time waste generation could be diminished included optimal operating used. Hence, incorporating areas high was developed.
