Plastic parts are structural designs based on industrial modeling. First, check whether there are similar products for reference, then perform a detailed functional decomposition of products and parts to determine splitting, wall thickness, demoulding slope, and gap between parts. Main process issues such as transition treatment, connection treatment, and strength treatment of parts.
This ppt describes Profile & Runout CONTROLS in GD&T. It also showcase the differences & similarities between the two controls. Kindly suggest your comments as required. Thank you + Regards.
GD&T is a means of dimensioning & tolerancing a drawing which considers the function of the part and how this part functions with related parts.
GD&T has increased in practice in last 15 years because of ISO 9000.
ISO 9000 requires not only that something be required, but how it is to be controlled. For example, how round does a round feature have to be?
GD&T is a system that uses standard symbols to indicate tolerances that are based on the feature’s geometry.
Sometimes called feature based dimensioning & tolerancing or true position dimensioning & tolerancing
GD&T practices are specified in ANSI Y14.5M-1994.

A mold is an industrial product that shapes a material by a certain structure in a specific structure, and is also a production tool capable of mass-producing industrial product parts having a certain shape and size requirement. Large to airplanes, cars, small cups, nails, almost all industrial products must rely on molding. High precision, high consistency, and high productivity of parts produced by mold are unmatched by any other processing method. Molds largely determine quality, efficiency and new product development capabilities of product. Therefore, mold has honorary title of “Mother of Industry”.

Engineering Guidelines to Designing Plastic Parts for Injection MoldingJaycon Systems
At Jaycon Systems, we have chosen to use injection molding as the main manufacturing process to bring plastic products to life.
However, injection molding is not simple. Engaging in such process requires an extensive knowledge about its machinery and process.
In this presentation, we will show you some of the aspects we take into consideration when designing plastic parts for injection molding so we can save our customers time and money in the long run.
Reasonable product design and mold design are key technologies that affect the success of injection molding. This article introduces some basic principles of injection molded product design and mold design.
1. The basic conditions of plastic product design
1.1. Record the product usage conditions as detailed as possible.
These conditions are:
A. Use environment
Outdoor conditions (sunlight, rain, ice, snow, dust), sunlight (ultraviolet rays, radiation, etc.), contact with gas (corrosive gas, water vapor), contact with liquid (water, detergent, oil, medicine, etc.), other (plasticizers), copper);
B. Use intensity
Common temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature (usually, special circumstances, outdoor, warehouse, window, car, etc.), repeated cold and hot
C. Use load
Common load, maximum load (normal, special circumstances. Static, dynamic, repeated, continuous, impact, drop, etc.).
What is the standard injection mold development process?JasmineHL
Before drawing the final assembly drawing of the mold, the process drawing should be drawn up, and it should meet the requirements of the workpiece drawing and process data. The size guaranteed by the next process shall be marked with the words "process size" on the drawing. If, after molding, no other machining is performed except for repairing burrs, the process drawing is exactly the same as the workpiece drawing.

Connecting rod as the key parts of the engine, its manufacturing quality directly affect the engine
performance and reliability[1]. Compared with the traditional manufacturing process, the modern manufacturing
process of the big end of the connecting rod is the fracture splitting process. Not only the quality of the
manufacturing has been improved, the cost has been reduced, the efficiency is improved, the technology has
been improved, and it can ensure the precise positioning and assembly between the two, eliminate the relative
motion, improve the NVH performance of the engine, meanwhile, improve the overall strength of the
connecting rod. This paper focuses on the problem of Separated Surface in the fracture splitting process, using
finite element software to simulate the fracture splitting process parameters to find the best fracture splitting
force to reduce and avoid the occurrence of the problem of Separated Surface.

Complex structure of molded plastic part needs to design a special demoulding mechanism. Requirements of these demoulding mechanisms are to not only make molded plastic part demould smoothly, but also make demoulding action reliable, and mold structure should be simplified as much as possible. When determining parting surface of a molded plastic part, parting surface that can simplify mold structure and allow plastic part to be demolded should be selected first. For tube position structure of three different demoulding directions on breast shield shown in Figure 1, one of them is an internal thread cap, bottom of internal thread cap has a round tube and a small hole, and its demoulding structure complex. In order to simplify mold structure for forming plastic part, selected main parting surface is located in the middle of three pipe positions on plastic part, and all three pipe positions are demoulded by side core pulling mechanism.
Figure 1 shows interior trim panel of left front door of a certain model. This door panel adopts an integrated structure. Trim panel and horn grille are integrated on door panel interior panel, and horn grille is honeycomb-shaped. Door panel interior panel material is PP-T20, the overall dimensions are 885mm*718mm*122mm, main body wall thickness is 2.2mm, and weight is 1780g.
Molten thermoplastics exhibit viscoelastic behavior, a combination of flow properties of viscous fluids and elastic solids. When a viscous fluid flows, part of driving energy is converted into viscous heat and disappears; however, when an elastic solid deforms, energy that drives deformation is stored. In daily life, flow of water is a typical viscous fluid, and deformation of rubber is an elastic body.
In addition to these two material flow behaviors, there are also two flow deformations, shear and extension, as shown in Figure 4-1 (a) and (b). In filling stage of injection molding, flow of thermoplastic melt is dominated by shear flow, as shown in Figure 4-1(c), and there is relative sliding between elements of each layer of material. In addition, when melt flows through a region of sudden size change, as shown in Figure 4-1(d), extensional flow becomes much more important.
Foreign engineering plastics industry started earlier. In 1931, DuPont Company of United States synthesized PA66 for the first time in laboratory. In 1939, PA66 realized industrialization and was the first industrialized engineering plastic. From 1950 to 1980, it was a period of rapid development of global engineering plastics industry. Bayer of Germany, DuPont of United States, and Qiqi of United States successively developed engineering plastics such as polycarbonate (PC), polyoxymethylene (POM), and polyimide (PI).
Abstract A 2-cavity two-plate mold was designed for injection molding of plastic parts of 135° elbow pipe of injection molding machine. Mold uses 4 types of demolding mechanisms for demolding of molded plastic parts, including bend pipe, straight pipe, retractable, push rod ejection and other demoulding mechanisms. Elbow core pulling mechanism uses a rack to drive sector gear, then arc slider is driven to perform rotary core pulling; straight tube core pulling mechanism uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive inner and outer wall cores to perform 2 core pulling; inner core pulling mechanism uses T-slots locking block to drive inner retractable core pulling; plastic part is finally pushed out by push rod.

Gating system is one of five major systems in the design of plastic molds. Its design will affect product ranking, number of mold cavities, form of mold structure, choice of injection moulding machine size, level of injection molding costs, level of mold manufacturing costs, difficulty of mold manufacturing, pressure, post-processing methods and costs during manufacturing. Slight effects will cause product to appear burrs, shrinkage, deformation, air lines, pinching, trapped air, easy to crack, difficult to cut, difficult to repair, difficult to take, difficult to take, etc .; serious effects will make product unable to produce, unfilling injection, obvious and severe clamping, product burnt, damage to appearance, bending of mold core, dragging product to scrap, unable to perform post-processing, unable to package, unable to distinguish left and right, etc.
Hot runner nozzle is one of important components of hot runner system. It is very important to control temperature of hot runner nozzle in injection mold. If temperature at the gate is too high, melt will stick to valve needle when mold is opened. If temperature at the gate is too low, melt at the gate will be too cold, which will make valve needle difficult to close.

very useful for plastic molds
01. General steps of plastic parts design
Plastic parts are structural designs based on industrial modeling. First, check whether there are
similar products for reference, then perform a detailed functional decomposition of products and
parts to determine splitting, wall thickness, demoulding slope, and gap between parts. Main
process issues such as transition treatment, connection treatment, and strength treatment of
parts.
Similar reference
Before designing, you should first look for similar products of company and peers, what problems
and shortcomings have occurred in original products, refer to existing mature structure, and
avoid problematic structural forms.
Determine part breaks, transitions between parts, connections, gap treatments
Understand modeling style from modeling drawing and effect drawing, cooperate with functional
decomposition of product, determine number of parts breaks (different surface states are either
divided into different parts, or there must be over-processing between different surfaces), and
determine excessive treatment between surfaces of parts, determine connection mode between
parts, and fit gap between parts.
Determination of part strength and connection strength
According to size of product, determine wall thickness of main body of part. Strength of part
itself is determined by wall thickness of plastic part, structural form (strength of plastic part in
shape of a flat plate is the worst), reinforcing rib and reinforcing bone. While determining
individual strength of parts, connection strength between parts must be determined. Methods of
changing connection strength include adding screw columns, adding stoppers, adding buckles,
and adding reinforcement bones for lower support.
Determination of draft angle
Demoulding slope should be based on material (PP, PE silica gel, rubber can be forcibly
demoulded), surface state (slope of embossed surface should be larger than that of smooth
surface, and slope of etched surface is as much as possible 0.5 degrees larger than sample
requirements, so as to ensure that etched surface is not damaged and improve yield of products),
and whether part should be transparent or not (transparent slope should be large).

Plastic parts have requirements on uniformity of wall thickness, workpieces with uneven wall
thickness will have shrinkage marks. It is required that ratio of reinforcement rib to wall thickness
of main body should be less than 0.4, and maximum ratio should not exceed 0.6.
Draft angle of plastic parts
In construction of three-dimensional drawing, it is necessary to draw slope where it affects
appearance and assembly, and reinforcement generally does not draw slope.
Draft angle of a plastic part is determined by material, state of surface decoration, and whether
part is transparent or not. Rigid plastics have a larger demoulding slope than soft plastics, the
higher part, the deeper hole and the smaller slope.
No Main aspects affecting draft angle
1 Influence of plastic material PE and PP can be forced to demould, and amount
of forced demoulding generally does not exceed
5% of maximum cross-sectional area of core.
2 Effect of etching In general, draft angle is 0.5 ° larger than
permissible for etched plate.

04. Values with different precisions in different size ranges
Surface roughness of plastic
1) Roughness that cannot be marked on etched surface. In places where plastic surface finish is
particularly high, circle this range and mark surface state as a mirror surface.
2) Surface of plastic parts is generally smooth and bright, and surface roughness is generally
Ra2.5~0.2um..
3) Surface roughness of plastic mainly depends on roughness of surface of mold cavity.
Roughness of mold surface is required to be one to two grades higher than surface roughness of
6. plastic parts. Surface of mold can reach Ra0.05 by ultrasonic and electrolytic polishing.
Fillet
Fillet value of injection molding is determined by adjacent wall thickness, generally 0.5 to 1.5
times wall thickness, but not less than 0.5mm.
Position of parting surface should be carefully selected with rounded corners. There are rounded
corners on parting surface, and rounded part needs to be on the other side of mold. It is difficult
to make, and there are subtle traces at rounded corners. But rounded corners are required when
cut-resistant hands are required.
Rib problem
Injection molding process is similar to casting process, and unevenness of wall thickness will
cause shrinkage defects. Generally, wall thickness of rib is 0.4 times thickness of main body, and
maximum is not more than 0.6 times. Spacing between ribs is greater than 4t, and height of ribs
is lower than 3t, as shown in Figure 6-1. In method of improving strength of part, reinforcement
is generally added without increasing wall thickness, as shown in Figure 6-1.
Rib of screw column should be at least 1.0mm lower than end surface of column, and rib should
be at least 1.0mm lower than surface of part, or parting surface.
When multiple ribs intersect, attention should be paid to uneven wall thickness caused by
intersection.
05. Rib Design for Plastic Parts
Bearing surface
Plastic is easy to deform, and should be classified as positioning of blanks in terms of positioning.
Positioning area should be small, such as plane supports, which should be changed to small
bumps and convex rings.
Sloping roof and slider problem
Lifter and slider both move in parting direction and perpendicular to parting direction. There
should be no rubber position to block movement of lifter and slider in direction perpendicular to
parting mold, and there must be enough space for movement, as shown in figure below.
06. Lifter and slider problem
Processing method of limit process problem of plastic
1) Special treatment method for wall thickness
For particularly large workpieces, such as toy car shells, method of multi-point glue injection can
make wall thickness relatively thinner. Local glue position of column is thick, and method as
shown in figure below is used to deal with it.
7. 2) Treatment of small slope and vertical surface
Mold surface has high dimensional accuracy, high surface finish, low demoulding resistance and
small demoulding slope. In order to achieve this purpose, small slope of workpiece is individually
inlaid, insert is cut by wire and processed by grinding, as shown in figure
In order to ensure that side wall is vertical, a running position or a slanted roof is required. There
are interface lines in running position. In order to avoid obvious interfaces, wiring is generally
placed at junction of rounded corner and large surface.

07. Problems that often need to be solved in plastic parts
1) Transition processing problem
Precision of plastic parts is generally not high, there must be transitional treatment between
adjacent parts and between different surfaces of same part.
Small grooves are generally used to transition between different surfaces of same part, small
grooves can be used between different parts to deal with high and low staggered surfaces, as
shown in figure
2) Clearance value of plastic parts
Direct assembly between parts, generally take 0.1mm if there is no movement between them;
Seam is generally taken as 0.15mm;
Minimum gap between parts without contact is 0.3mm, generally 0.5mm.
3) Common forms and gaps of plastic parts are as shown in figure
