As the product nowadays moving towards thinner design, causing the production of the plastic product facing a lot of difficulties. This is due to the higher possibilities of defects occur as the thickness of the wall gets thinner. Demand for technique in reducing the defects increasing due to this factor. These defects has seen to be occur due to several factors in injection moulding process. In the study a Moldflow software was used in simulating the injection moulding process. While RSM is used in producing the mathematical model to be used as the input fitness function for the Matlab software. Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) technique is used in optimising the processing condition to reduce the amount of shrinkage and warpage of the plastic part. The results shows that there are a warpage reduction of 17.60% in x direction, 18.15% in y direction and 10.25% reduction in z direction respectively. The results shows the reliability of this artificial method in minimising the product warpage.
