Abstract - The paper deals with the Design and mould flow analysis of injection moulding tool for Chair hand rest component. The part was analyzed with the mould flow software and accordingly, the injection moulding tool was designed. After mould flow analysis, considering the parameters (Possible gating location, runner location, fills time, Flow orientation, weld lines, etc) the manufacturing of the tool was done. Before the production of the component, there is a requirement of the moulding tool and moulding machine. The design is a very critical part and specialized area. Hence the tool should match the specification of the moulding machine to be accurate for producing the product.

Keywords- injection moulding tool, best gate location, fills time, weld lines, Air traps.
