The research project delves into enhancing the injection molding
process within the automotive industry. The objective is to refine the efficacy
and efficiency of injection molding procedures for manufacturing specific
interior plastic components utilizing SolidWorks Plastics and the Taguchi
method. Essential elements such as project goals, parameters, and structure are
meticulously considered to provide a systematic approach for achieving tangible
enhancements in injection molding design. Five distinct process parameters in
injection molding are chosen at various levels to minimize shrinkage in the
selected component. To evaluate the Signal-to-Noise ratio, the L18 orthogonal
array of Taguchi is selected based on the number of parameters and levels. The
selected parameters are optimized, resulting in the following settings: the
melt temperature is adjusted to 200°C, the mold temperature to 25°C, the
filling time to 3 seconds, the pressure holding time to 3 seconds, and the pure
cooling time to 3 seconds. Hence, the proposed methodology demonstrates that
the Taguchi method is a viable approach for improving injection molding
processes across diverse industries, including the automotive sector.
