AB  - Different models have been proposed to investigate the effects of various process
parameters on shrinkage of plastic parts, which in most cases the effect of each parameter is
obtained by changing one factor at a time. In this research, a simple flat model has been used and a
simulation code has been developed. Then, through this simulation code, the effects of different
process parameters have been investigated. This code was run for a typical thermoplastic
(polycarbonate) and finally, a Design Of Experiments (DOE) approach was used to study the
effects of multiple variables on shrinkage simultaneously.
