Case Study: Engineering of an injection mould development project to demonstrate the use of ProMax-One™
Injection Molding Engineering Free Software.
This case study demonstrates how to engineer and manage an injection moulding project using the applications offered free at www.injecneering.com or integrated
in the ProMax-One Tooling Engineer™ application, an affordable program,
where all ProMax-One applications are conveniently accessed through a single interface.
During this walk-through example, a complete injection molding project will be engineered and managed. Even if you decide not to use any of the ProMax-One applications, you will find this document useful as a great guide for proper management of an injection molding project.
The scope of this document is not to cover all the milestones of a tool development project but the ones that can be assisted by the ProMax-One applications.

Description of the
Study
Step
1. Create the mould record and specifications using ProMax-One Mold Database™
Step 2. Define tool figuration and calculate cycle time using ProMax-One Mold Estimator™
Step 3. Calculate clamp force and shot size and select injection molding machines using ProMax-One Machine Selector™
Step 4. Calculate cost of the plastics parts using ProMax-One Cost Estimator™
Step 5. Review and approve a preliminary mould design using ProMax-One Mold Check™
Description of the Study
The objective of this study is to create a tool in the database system,
Define tool configuration, select the injection molding machine, calculate the cost
of the parts to produce and review tool for steel approval of a multi-cavity tool to produce the plastic parts described in the table below
| Part 1: Rectangular Plate |
