Abstract
Injection moulding has been a
challenging process for many manufacturers and
researchers to produce products meeting
requirements at the lowest cost. Faced with global
competition in injection moulding industry, using
the trial and error approach to determine the
process parameters for injection moulding is no
longer good enough. Factors that affect the quality
of a moulded part can be classified into four
categories part design, mould design, machine
performance and processing conditions. The part
and mould design are assumed as established and
fixed. During production, quality characteristics
may deviate due to drifting or shifting of processing
conditions caused by machine wear, environmental
change or operator fatigue. Determining optimal
process parameter settings critically influences
productivity, quality, and cost of production in the
plastic injection moulding (PIM) industry.
