Knowledge – based method for gate and cold runner definition in injection mold design

Abstract

This paper deals with the application of intelligent system for injection mold design. The molding system of the developed knowledge-based module for injection molds more detail is considered. For this aim the known theoretical methods of gates and runners definition as well facts and rules were systematized using experts’ knowl-edge. The calculation accuracy of gates and runners were tested by the developed knowledge-based method compar-ing it with practical data.
