Material property measurement was conducted in this study that can be used as input in Moldflow. The optimization scheme is simulated and actual experimented. The optimized process parameters is obtained by CAE and the response surface model. The packing time and packing pressure have the most significant effect on the average shrinkage of thin-walled wax pattern, followed by mold temperature and injection temperature. The deformation dimension of the wax pattern has been significantly improved.
