Optimal multi-objective design of plastic injection molds for clinical vials

A critical review was made of previous research works, dedicated to the topic of injection molds design with different approaches, including the use of simulation and optimization procedures and tools. The work responds to the problem of selecting the most appropriate design and technology for plastic injection molding to obtain vials. A methodological approach to the analysis and synthesis of engineering systems was used, which led to the realization of a systemic analysis of the associated task, obtaining its conceptual mathematical model, its parameterization and, as a result of the subsequent internal analysis, the detailed mathematical model of the decision-making process was obtained, including the formulation of the multi-objective optimization model for obtaining the fundamental design parameters as a multi-criteria decision-making task. In conclusion, this model was adapted to the particularities of the Excel Solver application and solved with its help. Finally, the decision-making procedure was carried out with the help of this application and proposed blister manufacturing technology.
