Application of axiomatic design in injection molding process

An axiomatic approach to design allows engineering design to be taught as a science. As in other sciences, basic underlying principles with broad applications can be taught. These principles are applied to solving design problems and are used for evaluation. This approach has clear and important advantages over the traditional approaches, which rely on compliance with sometimes abstract algorithms to attempt to ensure good results. These approaches often include intuition, innate creativity, and evaluation by experience, teaching by one-on-one coaching, and a process based on time-intensive iterations of trial-and-error work. A good design method should be self-consistent and could therefore be used to design the content as well as the best approach for teaching engineering design. Present work attempts applying the axiomatic design & its software Accelero DFSSV5 to process design of the component in Injection Molding Process. By this the number of process design iterations are reduced in design aspect as well as manufacturing aspects.
