Injection molding is one of the most important and common plastic formation methods. Combination of modeling tools and optimization algorithms can be used in order to determine optimum process conditions for the injection molding of a special part. Because of the complication of the injection molding process and multiplicity of parameters and their interactive effects on one another, analytical...

introduction: cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly occurring in 3 in 1000 live birth. one the major concern in this patient is about cleft gap and its surgical problems. several surgical and non-surgical procedures have been done to decrease this gap. they aimed to achieve the more esthetic results as well as feeding success. nasoalveolar molding (nam) is a new method for reshaping nasa...

Background: The Shielding methods in radiotherapy due to delivering an accurate radiation dose to cancer tissues and avoiding unnecessary dose to normal tissues are very important. These methods include Lead standard blocks, individual molding and multi leaf collimator (MLC). The MLC method is not still common in Iran radiotherapy centers. Individual molding is better than the lead block shield...

Although wafer-level camera lenses are a very promising technology, problems such as warpage with time and non-uniform thickness of products still exist. In this study, finite element simulation was performed to simulate the compression molding process for acquiring the pressure distribution on the product on completion of the process and predicting the deformation with respect to the pressure ...

introduction: fractures of the orbital floor, which are caused by various mechanisms, result in the herniation of periorbital tissue into the paranasal sinuses and its subsequent complications. early diagnosis using various techniques and reduction of fractures are necessary to preserve ocular function and esthetic. use of an endoscope has been associated with some advantages, including a decre...

Laser scanner data is increasingly being used for the detailed reverse engineering of buildings. This process is currently primarily manual, but recent research has shown that basic structures, such as walls, ceilings, floors, doorways, and windows, can be detected and modeled automatically. Building on this previous research, we focus on the modeling of those linear moldings that typically sur...

This paper deals with the influence of selected methods (mechanical and pneumatic) as well as various factors (wood species, moisture content, veneer shape, punch diameter, laminating foil thickness, holding method, plasticizing) on 3D molding of veneers. 3D molding was evaluated on the basis of maximum deflection of birch and beech veneers. Cracks and warping edges were also evaluated in selec...

Taking the molding block thickness, relaxation ratio and shatter resistance as evaluation indicators, the effects of compression parameters, which include mold form, compressive force, pressure-holding time and loading rate, on molding block quality of fish floss were investigated by means of single factor and orthogonal test. The results show that: 1) the mold form, compressive force, pressure...

The rheological behavior of feedstocks used in powder injection molding technology influences strongly on the final properties of the products. Powder loading is one of the important factors that have a great distribution on rheological behaviors. By using the gas atomized spherical 316L stainless steel powder and the binder of 55% paraffin wax+ 40% polyethylen+ 5% stearic acid, four kinds of f...

This project was concerned with using self-assembly methods of chemistry and biology to fabricate large structures such as telescope mirrors in space or on the moon or Mars. Both biological and non-biological self assembly methods were considered, as well as methods for coating the resulting structures with silver for the purpose of making mirrors. For biological self-assembly we explored metho...
