A technique for controlling and optimizing injection molding parameters by numerical simulation is proposed. Using this method for an optical element designed for roadway lighting, multilens molding quality criteria have been defined. Optimal parameters for lens manufacturing have been determined. Based on these parameters, a polycarbonate multilens has been made with an absolute tolerance equal to 0.01 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
