Satyandra K Gupta1 Mechanical Engineering Department and The Institute for Systems Research University of Maryland College Park MD 20742 U S A ABSTRACT The presence of an already molded component during the second and subsequent molding stages makes multi material injection molding different from traditional injection molding process Therefore designing multi material molded objects requires addressing many additional manufacturability considerations In this paper we first present an approach to systematically identifying potential manufacturability problems that are unique to the multi material molding processes and design rules to avoid these problems Then we present a comprehensive manufacturability analysis approach that incorporates both the traditional single material molding rules as well as the specific rules that have been identified for multi material molding Our analysis shows that sometimes the traditional rules need to be suppressed or modified Lastly for each of the new manufacturability problem this paper describes algorithms for automatically detecting potential occurrences and generating redesign suggestions These algorithms have been implemented in a computer aided manufacturability analysis system The approach presented in this paper is applicable to multi shot and over molding processes We expect that the manufacturability analysis techniques presented in this paper will help in decreasing the product development time for the injection molded multi material objects Keywords Automated manufacturability analysis generation of redesign suggestions and multi material injection molding 1 INTRODUCTION Over the last few years a wide variety of multi material injection molding MMM processes have emerged for making multi material objects which refer to the class of objects in which different portions are made of different materials Due to fabrication and assembly steps being performed inside the molds molded multi material objects allow significant reduction in assembly operations and production cycle times Furthermore the product quality can be improved and the possibility of manufacturing defects and total manufacturing costs can be reduced In MMM multiple different materials are injected into a multi stage mold The sections of the mold that are not to be filled during a molding stage are temporally blocked After the first injected material sets then one or 桂林電子科技大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì) 論文 外文翻譯原文 第 1 頁 共 38 頁 more blocked portions of the mold are opened and the next material is injected This process continues until the required multi material part is created Nowadays virtually every industry e g automotive consumer goods toys electronics power tools appliances that makes use of traditional single material injection molding SMM process is beginning to use multi material molding processes Some common applications include multi color objects skin core arrangements in mold assembled objects soft touch components with rigid substrate parts and selective compliance objects Typical examples of each class of application are shown in Fig 1 There are fundamentally three different types of multi material molding processes Multi component injection molding is perhaps the simplest and most common form of MMM It involves either simultaneous or sequential injection of two different materials through either the same or different gate locations in a single mold Multi shot injection molding MSM is the most complex and versatile of the MMM processes It involves injecting the different materials into the mold in a specified sequence where the mold cavity geometry may partially or completely change between sequences Over molding simply involves molding a resin around a previously made injection molded plastic part Each of the three classes of MMM is considerably different Each specific MMM process requires its own set of specialized equipment however there are certain equipment requirements that are generally the same for all types of MMM Techniques described in this paper are applicable to over molding and multi shot molding Currently only limited literature exists that describes how to design molded multi material objects Consequently very few designers have the required know how to do so Consider an example of a two piece assembly consisting of part A and part B to be produced by multi material molding In fact many new users believe that if part A and part B meet the traditional molding rules then assembly AB will also be moldable using multi material molding By moldable we mean that the assembly or part can be molded using one or more MMM or SMM processes such that basic functional and aesthetic requirements for the part or assembly are satisfied and the mold cavity shape can be changed i e mold can be opened pieces may be removed or inserted and then mold can be closed without damaging the mold pieces However this notion is not always correct Fig 2 shows an assembly to be molded by MMM In this case both parts can be individually molded without any problem However molding them as an assembly using over molding process leads to manufacturability problems After molding the inner part in the first stage it is not possible to carry out second stage molding as the injected plastic will flow over the inner part and damage the surfaces of the already molded component This emphasizes the need for developing new design rules that are specific to addressing manufacturability problems encountered in multi material molding Detection of this problem and corresponding redesign suggestion will be described in sub section 5 3 On the other hand there are molded multi material assemblies where at least one of the parts would have not been moldable as an individual piece using traditional molding However this part can be molded when done as a part of the assembly Fig 3 highlights such a case Although application of traditional plastic injection molding rules would have concluded that component B cannot be manufactured it is possible to mold 桂林電子科技大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì) 論文 外文翻譯原文 第 2 頁 共 38 頁 assembly AB by choosing an appropriate molding sequence For example in this case we first need to mold part A and then mold part B using overmolding operation The reason why MMM appears to be significantly different from SMM can be explained as follows The part that has been molded first component A acts as the mold piece during the second molding stage Thus a plastic mold piece is present in addition to the metallic mold pieces during this molding stage Hence this second stage is fundamentally different in nature from conventional single material injection molding Fig 4 illustrates this condition by depicting the two molding stages in rotary platen multi shot molding Although the shape of the core remains identical in both the stages the cavity shape changes and already molded component A acts as an additional mold piece in the second shot Moreover the first stage part that acts as plastic mold piece is not separated from the final assembly This forces us to avoid applying some of the traditional molding design rules on certain portions of the gross shape of the overall object also referred as gross object By gross object we mean the solid object created by the regularized union of the two components That is why simply ensuring that the first stage part and the gross shape are moldable do not solve this problem either Fig 5 illustrates this fact blindly checking all the faces of the gross object for presence of undercuts leads us to wrongly conclude that it cannot be molded In reality this is not the case and we should only test the faces that need to be demolded i e separated from the mold pieces during that molding stage while determining a feasible molding sequence Based on the above discussion we conclude that a new approach needs to be developed to analyze manufacturability of molded multi material objects In the current paper we only consider manufacturability problems arising due to the shape of the components and the gross object Fig 6 shows an example where undercuts create problems they need to be eliminated in order to form a feasible molding sequence The gross object shown in that figure cannot be made by any MMM process because neither of the two components is moldable due to the presence of deep internal undercuts Slight redesign of component A enables us to carry out MMM operation component A can be injected first and then component B provided they have similar melting points or A melts at a higher temperature than B Section 3 systematically derives five such new manufacturability problems that arise in multi material molding from the state transition diagram representing the process flow The next task in developing a systematic manufacturability analysis methodology is to develop a detailed approach for applying these new rules A comprehensive approach to outline how and when the new multi material molding design rules need to be applied and traditional single material molding rules have to be applied modified or suppressed has been proposed in Section 4 Finally algorithms have been presented to detect violations of such rules and generate feasible redesign suggestions in Section 5 All the algorithms have been implemented in a computer aided manufacturability analysis system We conclude this paper by stating its contributions and limitations in Section 6 桂林電子科技大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì) 論文 外文翻譯原文 第 3 頁 共 38 頁 2 RELATED RESEARCH A wide variety of computational methods have emerged to provide software aids for performing manufacturability analysis Gupt97a Vlie99 Such systems vary significantly by approach scope and level of sophistication At one end of the spectrum are software tools that provide estimates of the approximate manufacturing cost At the other end are sophisticated tools that perform detailed manufacturability analysis and offer redesign suggestions For analyzing the manufacturability of a design the existing approaches can be roughly classified into two categories In direct approaches Ishi92 Rose92 Shan93 shape based rules are used to identify infeasible design attributes from direct inspection of the design description In indirect or plan based approaches Gupt95 Gupt97b Gupt98 Haye89 Haye94 Haye96 the first step is to generate a manufacturing plan and then to evaluate the plan in order to assess the manufacturability of design This approach is useful in domains where there are complex interactions between manufacturing operations Several leading professional societies have published manufacturability guidelines for molded plastic parts to help designers take manufacturability into account during the product design phase Bake92 Truc87 Poli Poli01 has also described qualitative DFM rules for all the major polymer processing processes including injection molding compression molding and transfer molding Moreover companies such as General Electric Gene60 have generated their own guidelines for the design of plastic parts Such guidelines show examples of good and bad designs It is left to the designer s discretion to apply them as and when necessary Basically there are two types of guidelines The first type deals with manufacturability issues whereas the second type deals with part functionality We will only cover the first type of guidelines here They are listed as follows a Fillets should be created and corners should be rounded so that the molten plastic flows smoothly to all the portions of the part Use of radii and gradual transitions minimize the degree of orientation associated with mold filling thereby resulting in uniform mold flow Mall94 Moreover this also avoids the problem of having high stress concentration Fig 7 shows an example of how part design needs to be altered to get rid of sharp corners b The parting line must be chosen carefully so that parting and metal shut off flashes can be minimized Typically flashes solidified leakages of plastic material occur along the parting line where the mold pieces come in direct contact with each other Fig 8 illustrates how the stiffening ribs on a part have to be redesigned in order to change the location of the parting line This consequently changes the flash formation position In the first case flashes run all along the part destroying the part quality However they occur on the top surface of the part in the second design and hence can be easily removed later on c Thin and uniform section thickness should be used so that the entire part can cool down rapidly at the same rate Thick sections take a longer time to cool than thin sections For example in the first part shown in Fig 9 the thicker hotter sections of the molding will continue to cool and shrink more than the thinner sections This will result in a level of internal stress in the portions of the part where the wall thickness changes These 桂林電子科技大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì) 論文 外文翻譯原文 第 4 頁 共 38 頁 residual internal stresses can lead to warpages and reduced service performances If possible the part must be redesigned to eliminate such thickness variations altogether Otherwise tapered transitions can be used to avoid residual stresses high stress concentrations and abrupt flow transitions during mold filling Whenever feasible wall section thickness must be reduced by coring out sections of the molding and by using ribs to compensate for the loss in stiffness of a thinner part Mall94 d Side actions side cores split cores lifters etc must be used to create undercut features on the part or the part should be redesigned to eliminate undercut features Fig 10 shows an example of a plastic part whose undercut region cannot be molded by any side action A simple redesign shown in this figure solves this problem e Draft angles need to be imparted to vertical or near vertical walls for ease of removal of the part from the mold assembly Fig 11 shows that incorrect draft angles make it impossible to eject the part Tapering the side walls inward towards the core side resolves this issue satisfactorily Drafting also reduces tool and part wear considerably sliding friction as well as scuffing or abrasion of the outer cavity faces of the part are eliminated to a large extent Typically the required draft angle ranges from a fraction of a degree to several degrees and depends on a lot of parameters such as depth of draw material rigidity surface lubricity and material shrinkage Mall94 Computational work in the field of manufacturability analysis of injection molded parts mainly focuses on two different areas The first area deals with demoldability of a single material part The demoldability of a part is its ability to be ejected easily from the mold assembly core cavity and side actions when the mold opens Deciding if a part is demoldable is equivalent to deciding if there exists a combination of main parting direction side cores and split cores such that the criterion of demoldability is satisfied Chen et al Chen93 describe a visibility map based approach to find a feasible parting direction that minimizes the number of side cores Hui Hui97 describes a heuristic search technique for selecting a combination of main parting core and insert directions Approaches based on undercut feature recognition have also been developed Gu99 Fu99 Lu00 Yin01 The basic idea behind these approaches is to find potential undercuts on the part using feature recognition techniques Each type of feature has its own set of candidate parting directions The optimal main parting direction is then chosen on the basis of some evaluation functions Ahn et al Ahn02 describe mathematically sound algorithms to test if a part is indeed moldable using a two piece mold without any side actions and if so to obtain the set of all such possible parting directions Building on this Elber et al Elbe05 have developed an algorithm based on aspect graphs to solve the two piece mold separability problem for general free form shapes represented by NURBS surfaces McMains and Chen McMa04 have determined moldability and parting directions for polygons with curved 2D spline edges Recently Kharderkar et al Khar05 have presented new programmable graphics hardware accelerated algorithms to test the moldability of parts and help in redesigning them by identifying and graphically displaying undercuts Dhaliwal et al Dhal03 described exact algorithms for computing global accessibility cones for each face of a polyhedral object Using these Priyadarshi and Gupta Priy04 developed algorithms to design multi piece molds Other notable work in the area of 桂林電子科技大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì) 論文 外文翻譯原文 第 5 頁 共 38 頁 automated multi piece mold design includes that by Chen and Rosen Chen02 Chen03 The second area of active work deals with the simulation of molten plastic flow in injection molding process Many commercial systems are available to help designers in performing manufacturability analysis Also finite element analysis software like ANSYS ABAQUS FEMLAB etc can be used to predict and solve some problems such as whether the strength of some portion of the part is adequate Since these types of problems arising during multi material injection molding are the same as those experienced in case of single material molding appropriate commercial packages can be used to overcome them 3 IDENTIFYING SOURCES OF MOLDING PROBLEMS Many different reasons can contribute to manufacturability problems during MMM These reasons include material incompatibility interactions among cooling systems for different stages placement of gates demoldability and ejection system problems In this paper we mainly focus on the manufacturability problems that result from the shape of the multi material objects Specifically we focus on those manufacturing complications that arise due to the presence of plastic material inside the mold cavity during the second shot The work presented in this paper is applicable to multi shot rotary platen shown in Fig 4 and Fig 12 multi shot index plate shown in Fig 13 and Fig 14 and over molding processes shown in Fig 15 Appendix A describes each of these processes in details It is important to note here that part designs need to be modified significantly depending upon the nature of the MMM process that will be used to mold it Fig 16 illustrates this idea by using three different part designs The first object can be molded by overmolding process only whereas the second object can be molded using either overmolding or index plate multi shot molding process Rotary platen process should be used to mold the last part Thus it is clear that specific process dependent design rules are essential in multi material injection molding Let us now try to systematically identify the manufacturability problems so that corresponding design rules can be framed to handle them These design rules will be later utilized by the algorithms in Sections 4 and 5 to offer meaningful solutions once the problems have been detected A new way of identifying all the potential sources of manufacturability problems using state transition diagrams and studying failure mode matrices is presented below The effectiveness of this technique is first validated by comparing the identified failure modes and corresponding design rules with the established guidelines for traditional injection molding Afterwards the same approach is adopted in order to detect and diagnose all the potential manufacturability problems in MMM processes This scheme is comprehensive with respect to the state transition model it does not overlook any of the potential problems that arises due to the geometry of the multiple heterogeneous objects Fig 17 shows the state transition diagram for SMM It is clear that five states have to be completed successfully so that an acceptab
