Spiral and conformal cooling in plastic injection molding

Designing cooling channels for the thermoplastic injection process is a very important step in mold design. A conformal cooling channel can significantly improve the efficiency and the quality of production in plastic injection molding. This paper introduces an approach to generate spiral channels for conformal cooling. The cooling channels designed by our algorithms has very simple connectivity and can achieve effective conformal cooling for the models with complex shapes. The axial curves of cooling channels are constructed on a free-form surface conformal to the mold surface. With the help of boundary-distance maps, algorithms are investigated to generate evenly distributed spiral curves on the surface. The cooling channels derived from these spiral curves are conformal to the plastic part and introduce nearly no reduction at the rate of coolant flow. Therefore, the channels are able to achieve uniform mold cooling. Moreover, by having simple connectivity, these spiral channels can be fabricated by copper duct bending instead of expensive selective laser sintering.

Cost-effective design for injection molding

It is commonly agreed that a large proportion of the ultimate product cost is determined at product design stage. Therefore, a cost-effective design cannot be obtained unless all cost issues are resolved at early design stage. Therefore, instead of performing cost estimation after design, research presented in this paper aims to provide on-line cost evaluation and advisory to help product designers avoid cost-ineffective design. The objective can be obtained by (1) identifying factors that might affect product cost at each product design stage, (2) developing a design for cost effectiveness methodology that accommodates the concepts of concurrent engineering, and (3) developing a computer-based design for cost effectiveness system based on the proposed methodology. In this research, we focus on injection molding product design due to the advantages of injection molding process, such as high production rates, excellent quality and accuracy of the parts, and very long mold life. This paper first reviews and characterizes the conventional molding product development process with an emphasis on the identification of cost factors. Based on the results of process characterization, a cost model is developed, which depicts the relationships between cost factors and product development activities, as well as their relationships with product geometry. According to the product life cycle activities and the cost model, a design for cost effectiveness process is proposed. The process and the cost model are then employed for the development of a computer-based product design for cost effectiveness as one of the module of an integrated design for injection molding environment.     

Geometric algorithms for automated design of multi-piece permanent molds

Multi-piece molds, which consist of more than two mold pieces, are capable of producing very complex parts—parts that cannot be produced by the traditional molds. The tooling cost is also low for multi-piece molds, which makes it a candidate for pre-production prototyping and bridge tooling. However, designing multi-piece molds is a time-consuming task. This article describes geometric algorithms for automated design of multi-piece molds. A multi-piece mold design algorithm has been developed to automate several important mold-design steps: finding parting directions, locating parting lines, creating parting surfaces, and constructing mold pieces. This algorithm constructs mold pieces based on global accessibility analysis results of the part and therefore guarantees the disassembly of the mold pieces. A software system has been developed, which has been successfully tested on several complex industrial parts.     

Design and analysis of a reconfigurable discrete pin tooling system for molding of three-dimensional free-form objects

This paper presents the design and analysis of a new reconfigurable tooling for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) free-form objects. The proposed reconfigurable tooling system comprises a set of matrices of a closely stacked discrete elements (i.e., pins) arranged to form a cavity in which a free-form object can be molded. By reconfiguring the pins, a single tool can be used in the place of multiple tools to produce different parts with the involvement of much lesser time and cost. The structural behavior of a reconfigurable mold tool under process conditions of thermoplastic molding is studied using a finite element method (FEM) based methodology. Various factors that would affect the tool behavior are identified and their effects are analyzed to optimally design a reconfigurable mold tool for a given set of process conditions. A prototype, open reconfigurable mold tool is developed to present the feasibility of the proposed tooling system. Several case studies and sample parts are also presented in this paper.     

A performance index for topology and shape optimization of plate bending problems with displacement constraints

This paper presents a performance index for topology and shape optimization of plate bending problems with displacement constraints. The performance index is developed based on the scaling design approach. This performance index is used in the Performance-Based Optimization (PBO) method for plates in bending to keep track of the performance history when inefficient material is gradually removed from the design and to identify optimal topologies and shapes from the optimization process. Several examples are provided to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed performance index for topology and shape optimization of bending plates with single and multiple displacement constraints under various loading conditions. The topology optimization and shape optimization are undertaken for the same plate in bending, and the results are evaluated by using the performance index. The proposed performance index is also employed to compare the efficiency of topologies and shapes produced by different optimization methods. It is demonstrated that the performance index developed is an effective indicator of material efficiency for bending plates. From the manufacturing and efficient point of view, the shape optimization technique is recommended for the optimization of plates in bending.

An efficient optimization method for periodic lattice cellular structure design based on the K-fold SVR model

The design optimization of periodic lattice cellular structure relying exclusively on the computational simulation model is a time-consuming, even computationally prohibitive process. To relieve the computational burden, an efficient optimization method for periodic lattice cellular structure design based on the K-fold support vector regression model (K-SVR) is proposed in this paper. First, based on the loading experiments, the most promising unit cell of periodic lattice cellular structure is selected from five typical unit cells. Second, an initial SVR model is constructed to replace the simulation model of the periodic lattice cellular structure, and the K-fold cross-validation approach is used to extract the error information from the SVR model at the sample points. According to the error information, the sample points are sorted and classified into several sub-sets. Then, a global K-SVR model is re-constructed by aggregating each SVR model under each sub-set. Third, considering that there exists prediction errors between the K-SVR model and the simulation model, which may lead to infeasible optimal solutions, an uncertainty quantification approach is developed to ensure the feasibility of the optimal solution for the periodic lattice cellular structure design. Finally, the effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach are demonstrated on the design optimization of the A-pillar and seat-bottom frame.

     

The application of surface visibility and moldability to parting line generation

In molding, casting or forging processes, part surfaces are formed by the core, cavity and local tools in molding/casting or by the upper and lower dies and local tools in forging. In computer-aided design of dies and molds, automatic identification of surfaces molded/formed by these different tooling components is critical since the generation of parting lines depends on these surfaces, which would further influence the determination of parting surfaces, the creation of core and cavity blocks and the entire mold structure. In this paper, the surface partability and visibility are first proposed and its moldability is next presented. Considering the molding process as an instance, the concepts of core-, cavity- and the local tool-molded surfaces are defined. A methodology based on surface visibility and moldability to determine the potentially and actually moldable surfaces of these groups is developed. Since the generation of parting lines is a crucial preliminary design step in mold/die design life cycle, a new approach to determining the parting lines based on the proposed methodology is presented. A case study is used to test the methodology and approach, and to validate the efficiency in parting line generation of molded parts.     

Exception handling refactorings: Directed by goals and driven by bug fixing

Exception handling design can improve robustness, which is an important quality attribute of software. However, exception handling design remains one of the less understood and considered parts in software development. In addition, like most software design problems, even if developers are requested to design with exception handling beforehand, it is very difficult to get the right design at the first shot. Therefore, improving exception handling design after software is constructed is necessary. This paper applies refactoring to incrementally improve exception handling design. We first establish four exception handling goals to stage the refactoring actions. Next, we introduce exception handling smells that hinder the achievement of the goals and propose exception handling refactorings to eliminate the smells. We suggest exception handling refactoring is best driven by bug fixing because it provides measurable quality improvement results that explicitly reveal the benefits of refactoring. We conduct a case study with the proposed refactorings on a real world banking application and provide a cost-effectiveness analysis. The result shows that our approach can effectively improve exception handling design, enhance software robustness, and save maintenance cost. Our approach simplifies the process of applying big exception handling refactoring by dividing the process into clearly defined intermediate milestones that are easily exercised and verified. The approach can be applied in general software development and in legacy system maintenance.
