Five Geometric Principles for Injection Molding
-
G. Aronsson
Abstract
A condensed presentation of some results of a geometric character, concerning the injection molding of plastics, is given here. The author has derived these results from mathematical arguments and some simplifying assumptions, besides the usual Hele-Shaw flow conditions.
The presentation here is intended for readers with an interest in polymer processing, rather than mathematics, so that the mathematical derivations are omitted in some cases, and sketchy in other cases. Instead we try to explain the results using figures, intuitive arguments and a few inevitable formulas. Since the experimental verification of the results is still very incomplete, we prefer to present them as proposed principles. Comments and suggestions for improvement are very welcome.
