Abstract

Nowadays, the plastic materials are widely use in industries molding to produce the component or parts. The industry mold was growth faster due to demand with the trend of consumer product designed that is getting smaller. Most of the plastic products are using the injecting molding process. Although the product was produce quickly, but it take a long time to change the mold base due to heavy weight of mold base and at the same time will increasing the setup time. The aim of this project is to optimizing the weight of core and cavity with topology optimization method by using the Solid Thinking Inspire 2016 Software. The optimizing design for core and cavity was design using the CAD data which is Solid Work 2014 software. During the optimizing process, all parameter was set according to the properties and characteristic of core and cavity. After 54 times iteration for analysis and more than 10 iterations to optimize both components, the results come out with about 54% of the original core and 20% of the original cavity materials can be remove. It can be conclude that, by reducing the core and cavity weight the total weight of mold base also can be reduce.
