Injection moulding simulation results as an input to the injection moulding process

In the presented research work the authors tried to develop the software which will suit all the needs of the injection moulding when optimising the part-mould-technology system. The simulation results consist of geometrical and technological data. Geometrical data are useful for both: the part as well as the mould designers, because technological data help the moulders to understand the process parameters. On the basis of the simulation results, the part designers can optimise the geometry of the part and the mould designers can optimise the running and the cooling system of the mould. In this way the optimal input values for the technology optimisation can be defined. The paper provides evidence that the program with its open structure suits the needs of the laboratory environment as well as of the real production.
