Successful Injection Molding : Process, Design, and Simulation

This book can be used by anyone involved with the development of injection-molded products, tooling, or processess. It will also provide insight for many CAE analysts or anyone in the industry who encounters analysis information. The author provides a clear understanding and guides the reader on how to minimize development risks and time to market while maximizing productivity and quality of injection molded plastic parts.

By providing full color simulation output, animated filling analysis, and practical data collection forms for product development on the free CD-Rom, the authors emphasize the practical importance of this book - an invaluable resource for every injection molding practitioner.

Successful Injection Molding gives comprehensible explanations on the best ways to utilize simulation in the design of injection molded parts and the tools they are molded from. Strong emphasis is placed on the proper application of these tools and proper interpretation of their results.
