Abstract
The present disclosure provides a molding system for preparing injection-molded articles. The molding system includes a molding machine; a mold disposed on the molding machine and having a mold cavity for being filled with a molding resin; a processing module configured to generate a mixed anisotropic viscosity distribution of the molding resin in the mold cavity based on a molding condition for the molding machine; and a controller coupled to the processing module. The mixed anisotropic viscosity distribution of the molding resin is generated by taking into consideration an extension rate distribution and a shear rate distribution of the molding resin. The controller is configured to control the molding machine with the molding condition using the generated extension rate distribution and the generated shear rate distribution of the molding resin to perform an actual molding process for preparing the injection-molded article.
