The study and Design for Manufacturing Process of toy plant pot using CAD/CAM/CAE Technique
Keywords:
Plastic Injection Mold, Numerical Simulation, Computer Aided ManufacturingAbstract
Toy plant pots are used to organize children's classrooms and theme park. Today, most of the toy plant pot parts are made of plastic material by injection molded. Most of the plastic injection molded parts are produced by CAM. InventorCAM is Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), developed and used in manufacturing and design processes in the automotive industry. InventorCAM has been supporting and plugins for Inventor Professional Program. InventorCAM is available only in the manufacturing collection. In this work, researcher is designed plastic model of toy plant pot and injection mold base, consisting of sprue, runner, sub runner and gate. After that, plastic parts are used to simulate the injection molding process to simulate the positioning of gate injection. In addition, researcher also design of standard part for plastic injection molded and the both in the core and cavity of mold plastic injection using module mold design of Inventor Professional version 2014. Therefore, this study can be used to study plastic injection mold together with the use of InventorCAM program appropriately. Nevertheless, the results obtained from simulations and the improvement of higher performance for plastic injection would be optimum for development of better toy plant pot production for SME business.
