The main goal of this project is to develop a small and affordable mold vacuum system to solve issues associated with air trapped in the mold cavities such as incomplete cavity filling, high residual stresses, burn marks, lifetime reduction of the mold and machine, and a high energy consumption. To successfully achieve this goal, the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (DIME) that leads this project, teamed up with Toly Products Ltd due to its relatively high number of injection molding machines and its continuous efforts in improving the sustainability of their manufacturing processes.
