Lee Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore An injection mould is a mechanical assembly that consists of product-dependent parts and product-independent parts. This paper addresses the two key issues of assembly modelling for injection moulds, namely, representing an injection mould assembly in a computer and determining the position and orientation of a product-independent part in an assembly. A feature-based and object-oriented representation is proposed to represent the hierarchical assembly of injection moulds. This representation requires and permits a designer to think beyond the mere shape of a part and state explicitly what portions of a part are important and why. Thus, it provides an opportunity for designers to design for assembly (DFA). A simpli?ed symbolic geometric approach is also presented to infer the con?gurations of assembly objects in an assembly according to the mating conditions. Based on the proposed representation and the simpli?ed symbolic geometric approach, automatic assembly modelling is further discussed. and sizes of a cavity system are determined directly by the plastic moulded product, so all components of a cavity system are called product-dependent parts. (Hereinafter, product refers to a plastic moulded product, part refers to the component of an injection mould.) Besides the primary task of shaping the product, an injection mould has also to ful?l a number of tasks such as the distribution of melt, cooling the molten material, ejection of the moulded product, transmitting motion, guiding, and aligning the mould halves. The functional parts to f
