INTEGRATED TRUE 3D SIMULATION OF RAPID HEAT CYCLE MOLDING PROCESS

摘要

In the Rapid Heat Cycle Molding (RHCM) Process, the mold temperature is rapidly changed in each cycle to improve part quality and reduce cycle time. In this paper, an integrated fully transient true 3D simulation approach is proposed by considering the interplay between filling/pack and cooling stages to study and further optimize the RHCM process.
