HYPOTHESIS: (add what the trial was trying
to find out) Can we develop a set of run
parameters to mold the new carbon‐based
materials using our existing process ?
VARIABLES TESTED: (add the variables being
monitored, adjusted, tested, etc … during the trial)
Temperature profile (varied duration + temperature
ratio), amount of material used, ambient humidity,
mold shapes, injection speed
OBSERVATIONS: (add what was noticed during the trial, successes + failures, whether the hypothesis
was correct, incorrect, or inconclusive)
Trials used lower mouth guard mold set #12‐045. Tested at temperature profile from original
carbon material, but prototype material had incomplete fill (at molars). Material flow different
than expected, tended to get caught in areas of tight turns or smaller part geometry. Dimensions
out by at least 10% to nominal. Shatter tests were excellent.
Trials for larger mouth guard mold set #13‐045 had similar failures and more knit lines, more flash.
Material flow was more predictable, but had poor fill at random locations. Results improved with
less material. Shatter tests were excellent.
Material appears unsuitable for complex geometric shapes, failed to develop effective
temperature profiles and run parameters. Failed to control critical variables, more trials @ larger
quantities required.
MATERIAL CONSUMED: (add summary of the raw materials that were rendered valueless after the
trial was completed) Ran 100+ prototypes of both mouth guard. Required 120 kg materials, [2] sets
of prototype tips. Tips scrapped, material sent to re‐grind.
