Resumo(s)

The search for new technological concepts in the field of injection of thermoplastic polymers, in order to optimize the process and reduce cycle time, faced us with a new concept in moulding, where two different technologies are proposed to be unified. The fabric impregnated with thermoplastic is an example of a quite new product that combines the potential of polymers with long reinforcing fibres. In order to process this new product, injection of polymers and thermoforming will be applied in only one operation. To allow cycle time prediction for this new technique, changes will be made in the formulation of conventional injection cycle time, in order to comprise the new necessary stages. In this work a new approach is proposed to obtain moulded parts of thermoplastic polymers with functional fabric only in a single processing cycle. The description of the new stages and its mathematical formulation is made, in function of the time needed to complete each one. The results presented come from processing parameters optimization using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm.
