Robust Process Development and Scientific MoldingTheory and Practice\nAuthor(s): Suhas Kulkarni\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Hanser Publications, United States\nImprint: Hanser Publications\nISBN-13: 9781569905869, 978-1569905869\nSynopsis\nThe book introduces the reader to the concepts of Scientific Molding and Scientific Processing for Injection Molding, geared towards developing a robust, repeatable, and reproducible (3Rs) molding process.\n\nThe effects of polymer morphology, thermal transitions, drying, and rheology on the injection molding process are explained in detail. The development of a robust molding process is broken down into two sections and is described as the Cosmetic Process and the Dimensional Process. Scientific molding procedures to establish a 3R process are provided.\n\nThe concept of Design of Experiments (DOEs) for and in injection molding is explained, providing an insight into the cosmetic and dimensional process windows. A plan to release qualified molds.
