Abstract
The use of injection moulding process is becoming more popular recently due
to its profitable returns in plastic manufacturing industry. Its flexibility in changing the
product type have made injection-moulding process widely used. Time consuming and
complexity in designing the injection mould has led to developing a hybrid geometric
modelling construction that can be used in designing a mould with CAD system for
injection moulding process.
A system that consist of a combination of two representation schemes will
produce a mould design from the product part model. The algorithm for the two
representation schemes are integrated to produce a hybrid scheme that later can generate
mould design without a complex way. This research is aiming on simplified the current
method in creating the core and cavity for the mould.
At the end of this study, the developed algorithm able to detect the topology for
the part model. It able to recognise the characteristic of the model and interpret it in
form of topology data. Then, it can develop a design for pair of core and cavity for
injection mould. The designing work for mould can be simplified.
