Experimental and simulation studies of optimization of the melt spinning process were carried out for nylon 6 fibers. The experiment and process simulation demonstrated that one criterion that can be applied in scaling up an optimized melt spinning process is to achieve the similar real time history of temperature and deformation rate in the spinway. Some aspects of the experiments and process simulation are discussed, together with the results of real time history analysis for a case of nylon 6 spinning.
