Injection Moulding Thesis
Hi everyone,
Starting by introducing myself, I used to work for 3 years in a large injection moulding department as a process technician where i just gained and have a good knowledge about injection moulding machines, from large tons to small ones like 'Babyplast'. Basically, i used to change moulds, set machines and material and make sure to keep my cell running. Lately, i just stopped working and completed my studies and actually im doing a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Next Year I have to do my thesis and, since i have a good experience in this field and since i'm even interested in injection moulding, i was thinking to do my thesis which is related with injection moulding. However, I don't have such specific ideas what i should do. Maybe do you know of any projects or modifications related with injection moulding that should be good for my thesis ?
Best Regards
Barbo

Re: Injection Moulding Thesis
Hi,
Injection molding is realy large space and a lot of people are thinking, that it is easy process. (they have strong argument - It must be easy, everybody has a injection machine in garage.)
If I can make a proposal for you, try to focus your thesis on future or on a open issues in the process or some specifics of IM process. May be:
Mucell + talk filed materials vs. Mucell and glass fibres
GIT vs. water
or PP with Long glass fibre vs. dimmensions (iso/anisotropy)
or as has been mentioned in another thread on this forum - direct cooling of the tool by nitrogen
or something else :-)
regards Pilot

Re: Injection Moulding Thesis
You can find many ideas on this forum, such as 98.5% full by weight or volume. You could research that and argue that it is supported science or dogma. Maybe you can begin to settle the argument.
Welcome to the world of Molding and "Keep on Molding"

Re: Injection Moulding Thesis
Agreed with Brent and Pilot. There is HUGE amount of work that needs to be done. I do research on the side myself. Once you get into college and register I will be happy to suggest topics to you based on the resources you have access to. Let us know what school you are going to register with.

Re: Injection Moulding Thesis
hi, thanks guys.
I'm doing my bachelors with Fraunhofer University.
I was thinking to do something to save energy consumption. I used to work in an injection department where there are over 200 IM machines so, energy consumption is a big issue. Do you have any ideas about this issue ? preferably something which is related with Mechanical as im doing my bachelors in mechanical engineering and even dont have such a big experience in electrical.
Thank in advance.

Re: Injection Moulding Thesis
You could compare different clamping mechanisms and their energy consumption, with or without energy saving options or retrofitted devices.
