The Implementation of Cloud Platform for Injection Molding Process

Injection molding of plastic has been the important process for mass production. However, due to the diversified complications of mold design with mold manufacturing, and the coupling effects of plastic with molding machine, it is quite difficult to consistently molding the products with higher quality and precision. This research proposes the implementation of a cloud platform. It can not only digitize the information of mold design, mold manufacturing and molding practice, but also interchange the data with these stages automatically. Moreover, it brings up a possible methodology to accumulate the interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise for molding quality and precision.
