Abstract

The purpose of this project is to analyze the behavior of the plastic flow inside the three plate mould by using Moldex software. This research project was done by calculating the optimum size of feeding systems, including sprue, runner and gate. Besides that, the research focused on identifying the suitable location of gate, runner system and sprue system. Other than that, this research was to understand the parameters involved in flow simulation type of the plastic material, type of mould and type of injection moulding machine. In order to complete this research, hand phone housing for Nokia 2210 model was chosen as the 3D model. The 3D modeling of hand phone housing was prepared using Solidwork software. Then, transferred to Rhinocerous software. After the 3D modeling was exported, Rhinocerous software was used to do the meshing process on the part surface and then continue to design the runner, gate and sprue. After that, plastic flow analysis of Nokia 2210 mould was done using Moldex software. As result, various defects have been identified on Nokia 2210 such as short shot, weld line and air trap.
