Abstract

Injection molding has gained an enormous importance over the last twenty years. This is due both to the development of sophisticated products and to the efforts being generally made to the reduction of product weight specially in automobile industry. Developments aimed at creating innovative products are expected to broaden industrial implementation of their techniques. Establishment then requires the progressive development of existing mold techniques and engineering knowledge. This paper describes a successive process for molding multi component complicated products such as door trim, instrument panel and so on. Using an analytical model, the orthogonal experiment method (Taguchi method) and numerical simulation, an optimal process for simultaneous injection molding with “core-back” and “co-injection” technique is presented to produce such innovative products. Through practical tests, this process was verified in terms of applicability.
