1. Introduction
Mould making is an important supporting industry because their related products represent more than 70% among the components in consumer products. The high demand for shorter design and manufacturing lead times, good dimensionality and overall quality, and rapid design changes has become the bottlenecks in mould industries [1]. It is a complicated process, and required skilled and experienced mould maker.
Generally, injection moulding is one of the most important polymer processing operations in the plastic industry today. Approximately one-third of all plastics are converted into parts using injection moulding [2]. This is one of the processes that are greatly preferred in manufacturing industry because it can produce complex-shape plastic parts with good dimensional accuracy and very short cycle times [3]. Typical examples are casings and housings of the products such as computer monitor and mobile telephone, which have a thin shell feature. These products tend to become lighter, thinner and smaller. Hence, the internal components of products have to be packed into housing, which has smaller volume. One way to increase the space of housing parts is to reduce the wall thickness. However, the injection moulding operation becomes more difficult as the wall thickness of plastic parts becomes thinner [4]. This is because the significant warpage defect will be appeared. To reduce this significant defect, testing procedure regarding to the effective factors is required.
A thin plate with dimension 120 mm × 50 mm and 1 mm thickness will be produced. It is use for testing on the effective factors to minimize the warpage defect. Firstly, fabricating the plastic injection mould is needed. After that, the mould is going to be assembled on the injection moulding machine. When the thin plates have been produced, they will be used for testing on the effective factors in warpage problem by applying the experimental design of Taguchi method.
