Why APA?
The scope was to convert the Exhaust Steel Guard Grill into the Injection moulded plastic part.
Scope:
APA is working as an extended design team for Material Conversion. APA can help you with Material conversion for your successful business in one-stop solutions.
Design Challenges Involved:
- ⮚ Converting the Wire grill into Injection Mould plastic is a challenging one.
- ⮚ Designing the Injection Mould tool to open axially.
- ⮚ Maintaining the Mounting holes and size of the component
- ⮚ Maintaining the same acoustic design in the injection mold design
- ⮚ Avoiding additional aerodynamic losses
- ⮚ Maintaining the Natural frequency of less than 17Hz.
- ⮚ Avoiding the turbulence Inflow area should be designed without additional disturbances.
Design Process:
The steps involved in the design process are:
- ⮚ Evaluating your products
- ⮚ Checking the Manufacturing and functional feasibility
- ⮚ Selecting the material based on the applications
- ⮚ Creating the concept design as per Customer requirement
- ⮚ Validating the component in the FEA Environment
- ⮚ Modifying the design as per the FEA result (Stress, Displacement & Stability)
- ⮚ Preparing the DFM report of the component
- ⮚ Performing the mold flow analysis
- ⮚ Performing the CFD simulations if required.
Value Delivered:
- ⮚ Reducing the Manufacturing cost and Product Weight
- ⮚ Improving your product design and product performance
- ⮚ Increasing the functional durability and Productivity
