Abstract
Using computer simulation, the processibility and properties of the instrument panel of automobile produced by gas injection molding were predicted and evaluated. The P-V-T data of ABS, resin were used in the gas injection molding process in order to estimate the mold filling phenomena. The optimum process conditions were found by adjusting the process parameters including pressure, filling time, the positions of gas channel and runner. The process was simplified and the final instrument panel produced by the gas injection molding was found to have improved dimension stability compared to the one produced by conventional injection molding.
