The effects of process parameters, mold temperature (T mo), melt temperature (T me), cooling time (t c), fill pressure (P f), packing pressure (P p), and packing time (t p) on the shrinkage of injection molded polypropylene were investigated by utilizing a combination of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method and Moldflow software. An ANN model is developed to understand the relationship between plastic injection molding process parameters and shrinkage. The test results on the performance of the ANN model show that it can predict the shrin...
