This paper presents a methodology for obtaining an optimal design of a mold tool for an
injection molded or a diecast part based on part geometry. The methodology uses …

Current CAE systems used for both the simulation of the injection molding process and the
structural analysis of plastic parts accept solid models as geometric input. However, abstract …

This paper describes a knowledge-based and object-oriented approach for the design of the
feed system for plastic injection moulds. The gating system of a plastic injection mould plays …

The paper describes a new modeling method by which an object of a thin thickness can be
modeled in an efficient way. In this study, a thin object, considered as a sheet model, is …

A traditional mold design has been conducted by an experience-based trial and error,
whereby the mold designer would decide the gate locations and processing conditions …

The paper describes a new modelling method by which a thin object can be modelled
efficiently. In this study, a thin object, considered as a sheet object, is modelled by adding …

This paper describes non-manifold offsetting operations that add or remove a uniform
thickness from a given non-manifold topological model. The mathematical definitions and …

The automation of mould design and manufacturing using computer-aided design and
computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) draws the attention of many researchers …

This paper describes sheet modeling and thickening operations based on a non-manifold
topological representation for efficient solid modeling of thin-walled plastic or sheet metal …

Reusing existing design models and utilizing an e-Catalog for components are required for
faster product development. For the acceleration, an e-Catalog should provide parametric …
