Abstract : Plastic injection molding is a versatile process in which most of complex parts for various application can be produced. Growth in technology has made favourable software tool for the manufacturers to make best use of them in the field which a quality-based approach can be made even before the mould tools are manufactured. One such software tool used in this article is moldflow. The prime objective of this article is to ensure that the defects which causes the deterioration of the quality of the product to be produced are eliminated and this is done by using analysis software tool to study and interpret the plastic flow behaviour in the cavity. Various parameters like filling, packing, pressure, temperature etc… which play a major role towards the moulding process are taken into consideration.

Keywords : Injection Molding; Quality; Software Tool; Flow Analysis; Moldflow; Solidworks.
