Abstract 

"In the current highly competitive market of injected plastic parts, it is essential that companies invest in developments aiming at more expressive results in the higher quality and reduced costs of the final product. Therefore, automated options, such as articulated bases, stand out by increasing the process productivity and quality assurance of the final product. Hence, this proposed product has the objective of meeting the current manufacturing necessities while improving the process efficiency, cost and health and safety measurements. This was achieved through a multidisciplinary design approach, in which each component is developed considering its impact and interaction with the surrounding ones, the use of 3D modelling tools and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)."
