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
