A Structural Design of the Injection Mould

This paper proposes the design of an injection mould for a lightning frame. A challenging area in the field of the injection moulding process is undoubtedly the correct design of the injection mould. The injection moulding method has received much attention in recent years due to the mass production of plastic components with complex shapes and exacting dimensional specifications. Advantageous features of injection moulding are high repeatability and precision paired with speed, a cheap cost per item, and a wide variety of plastics. The software program used to design the injection mould and simulate its functionality was Autodesk Inventor. The result of this paper is to extend our knowledge of injection mould construction.
