Plastics manufacturing is a highly interdisciplinary endeavor
requiring knowledge related to materials science, physics,
engineering, and management. Because of this diversity, the
plastics process engineer interacts with many stakeholders
including customers, designers, materials suppliers, machine
builders, mold/die suppliers, systems integrators, operators,
quality engineers, managers, and others. With so many stakeholders
involved, it isn't surprising that many plastics manufacturing
processes are not precisely engineered systems. The resulting
processes can be poorly designed, requiring too much investment to
achieve too little productivity. This book was written to educate
and support plastics processing engineers, but it is also highly
useful to others involved with plastics manufacturing who are
performing process development, research, and even machinery
design. A manufacturing systems engineering approach was used to
provide guidance about plastics manufacturing as an integrated
system with broadly applicable analysis of the underlying
subsystems.
This book provides a structured methodology and scientific basis
for engineering injection molds. The topics are presented in a
top-down manner, beginning with introductory definitions and the
big picture before proceeding to layout and detailed design of
molds. The book provides very pragmatic analysis with worked
examples that can be readily adapted to real-world product design
applications. It will help students and practitioners to understand
the inner workings of injection molds and encourage them to think
outside the box in developing innovative and highly functional mold
designs. This new edition has been extensively revised with new
content that includes more than 80 new and revised figures and
tables, coverage of development strategy, 3D printing, in-mold
sensors, and practical worksheets, as well as a completely new
chapter on the mold commissioning process, part approval, and mold
maintenance. With the purchase of this book, you also receive a
free personal access code to download the eBook.

the inner workings of injection molds and encourage them to think
outside the box in developing innovative and highly functional mold
designs. Injection molding continues to be a core plastics
manufacturing process, but now has competition from additive
manufacturing for certain applications, and environmental concerns
are in the spotlight. The 3rd edition addresses these issues, in
particular with a new chapter on mold manufacturing strategy to
provide an overview of the most common machining and additive
manufacturing processes with cost and time models to guide the
manufacturing strategy; updated and simplified break-even cost
models to assist in the mold layout design (number of cavities and
type of mold) vs. 3D printing; a new section on environmental
concerns include mold design for recycled resins; and updates to
the International Tolerance standards, and the new technology and
simulation sections.
