3D BEM-based cooling-channel shape optimization for injection molding processes

Today, around 30% of manufactured plastic goods rely on injection molding. The cooling time can represents more than 70% of the injection cycle. Moreover, in order to avoid defects in the manufactured plastic parts, the temperature in the mold must be homogeneous. We propose in this paper a practica...
