Precision Replication of Surface Structures using Injection Moulding

摘要

Injection moulding is recognised as one of the most efficient mass production technologies for manufacturing polymeric components that have been used widely in agricultural, biomedical, mechanical and opto-electronic industries. The performance and functionality of these polymeric microscale devices rely on the precision replication of surface structures. However, the replication of surface structures is complicated and not yet fully understood. Commercial software for injection moulding is available to optimise the mould design for macroscale products, but such software cannot accurately simulate the moulding process and defects for microscale surface structures.
