Mold Flow Analysis

The document analyzes mold flow for a panel part using PC+ABS material. It examines fill time, injection pressure, volumetric shrinkage, weld lines, air traps, cooling channel design, mold surface temperature, time to freeze, and deflection. The analysis found a fill time of 0.8 seconds was achievable with an injection pressure of 60MPa. Volumetric shrinkage was within an acceptable range of 0.19-10.7% and deflection was also acceptable.
