Sink marks defect on injection molding using different raw materials

The quality of an injection molded part is affected by material properties, mold geometry, process conditions and etc. Obtaining optimum parameters is the key problem to improve the part quality. Sink marks is one of several important flaws of injection molded parts. In this project, numerical simul...
