Abstract This study presents a novel hybrid topology optimization and mold design framework that integrates process fitting, runner system optimization, and structural analysis to significantly enhance the performance of injection-molded parts. At its core, the framework employs a greedy algorithm that generates runner systems based on adjacency and shortest path principles, leading to improvements in both mechanical strength and material efficiency. The design optimization is validated through a series of rigorous experimental tests, including three-point bending and torsion tests performed on key-socket frames, ensuring that the optimized designs meet practical performance requirements. A critical innovation of… More >
