Lesson 7: Soap Case Part

The injection molding process is a complex and scientific manufacturing process that requires a thorough understanding of cause-and-effect behavior. This lesson focuses on the development and execution of a process development strategy for a soap case part.

In this lesson you will learn: the step-by-step approach to achieving target part flatness and cycle time goals; how lowering mold temperature can reduce overall shrinkage behavior; why clamp tonnage curves keep rising when pack pressure is maintained; and how to set up a decaying packing profile to avoid overpacking near the gate and to reduce molded-in stress.
