Abstract

The thermal mold design and the identification of a proper cooling channel design for injection molds becomes more and more complex. To find a suitable cooling channel system with objective rules based on the local cooling demand of the part a new methodology for the thermal mold design based on an inverse heat transfer problem was introduced. Based on a quality function regarding production efficiency as well as part quality, additional aspects to model the injection molding process are discussed. Aim of those extensions is the improvement of the inverse optimization of the problem.
