Students will develop skills in mould design that comprises cavity, cooling channel, ejection and clamping system and more. The part modelling is equipped with simulation studies in Moldflow to verify the design process.
students will develop competencies in analyzing the rheological and thermal behaviour of polymers in relation to injection moulding processes.

-Students understand the basic two-plate mould and part design and analyses
Students design parts and moulds using 3D CAD software
Students will conduct relevant engineering analyses and use computer simulations for validation studies.
-Students understand the mechanical and Rheological behaviours of plastic and apply the knowledge engineering designs.
