Abstract: The fact that plastic products are used more and more in every field of industry increases the importance of clean, seamless and easy manufacturing. This is why choosing the correct parameters for plastic injection moulding and calculating them precisely is extremely important. In this study, software was developed to model plastic injection moulds. The developed software was prepared using the Delphi 7.0 programming language. When preparing the software, factors such as injection machines, moulding materials, plastic materials, additives, and the geometric shapes of the products were taken into consideration. The necessary calculations required to be carried out on the moulding material such as the number of mould cavities, injection time of the moulded product, cooling time, the amount of volumetric shrinkage, the clamp pressure, the mould cost, and the cost of the moulded product are done depending on these factors. Artificial Neutral Networks (ANN) and optimisation techniques were used in calculation operations. In conclusion, as the developed software produces numerical estimated values for all of the data listed, data regarding plastic injection moulding is obtained quicker and the data obtained is a lot more reliable.
