Optimization of Injection Molding for UAV Rotor Based on Taguchi Method

Abstract

The injection molding of fiber-reinforced UAV rotor blades is put forward in this paper. Plastic injection molding for fabricating plastic products with complex shape is one of the significant operations in industry for its high precision and low cost. The simulation of the rotor forming process is conducted by using Moldflow software. The excessive deformation in the process of TAGUCHI test is optimized to obtain the combination of process parameters. The experiment results show that the deformation of rotor blade decreases, which meets the requirements of UAV flight. The method has good feasibility for the production of fiber-reinforced rotor blades in large quantities.
