The geometrical accuracy of injection-molded gears made of PA6, PA66 and PPA filled with glass fiber (30, 35 and 50%) were investigated. Using the AMI software, the injection mold cavity and the injection point distribution were simulated and the orientation of the glass fibers in the product was determined. The low accuracy class of injection-molded gears may indicate the need to optimize the injection process, which will be the subject of further research.
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.
