Repairs and redesigns for plastic injection molding parts generally is a short and straightforward process consisting of inspection, modeling, and evaluation. The present paper implements a methodology for redesigning and repairing injection molding parts based on the frontal process for developing concepts. The proposed methodology helps in the validation through Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) in the designing stage using CAD software, ensuring the quality of the repair. Furthermore, the redesigned development has been carried out in the best way to obtain a better cooling, robustness, or plastic flow. In this research is implemented the proposed methodology in a Hot Runner System. Furthermore, a numerical simulation for three cases to evaluate the heat transfer and cooling times performed, finding the main differences in heat transfer due to drilled or milled rectangular channels, minimizing the time to reach ejection temperature and mold/part temperatures. |
