... of the filling of the parts. Great emphasis was also on the optimization of selected gate designs for both plastic parts. Subsequently, the simulation results were used to answer the question which gate design was the most appropriate with regard to the process window, polymer flow, and part quality...

... the used polymer was taken from the same batches of material. Before molding, POM was dried at 110 °C for 3 hrs. The experimental work has been carried out in three steps: a screening phase, required to analyze the influence of process parameters, a refined experimentation about the most significant...
