  • the buyer will now be required to select the mold base manufacturer from a pre-deter ined list (FIG. 5, item 212). Selecting the mold base manufacturer is required because each manufacturer follows their own specific design guidelines. Knowing the mold base manufacturer is required by the hot runner manufacturer in order to determine various mechanical interfaces between the mold base and the hot runner subsystem. The buyer is not required to know the specifics between the different mold base manufacturers because the merchant computer 14 stores this information and automatically configures the hot runner subsystem to interface with the mold base selected by the buyer. In the preferred embodiment, the mold base manufacturer is selected by a click of the buyer's mouse on a drop down list. The next step in the online design process is for the buyer to select the units of measure used in the design of their injection molding system (FIG. 5, item 214). Since buyers of hot runner subsystems exist all over the world, some buyers will prefer their designs be represented in english units, and other buyers will prefer their designs be represented in metric units. The CAD files 50 will be generated using the units selected during this step.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système complet de conception et d'achat en ligne d'une machine de moulage par injection. Au moins un ordinateur de marchand est relié à au moins un ordinateur d'acheteur sur une réseau de communications sur lequel un acheteur peut concevoir de manière sélective et commander une machine de moulage par injection. Elle concerne aussi des moyens améliorés de stockage et de partage d'informations de conception de la machine, ce qui permet de réduire le cycle de fabrication, d'améliorer la qualité et de réduire le délai de livraison.
