Helix Extruder Die Design & Modelling
Budget: $50 – $0 AUD
I'm looking for someone experienced with Ansys or similar CFD software to design an extruder die that can create a multiple revolution helix. The perfect freelancer for this project will have a solid background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and expert-level knowledge of Ansys or equivalent and some plastic extrusion understanding.
Some critical aspects to consider in the modelling are:
- High dimensional accuracy, while managing a linear velocity gradient across the width of the extrusion
- A flat bottom and side walls, perhaps using co-extrusion as a way of delivering this
- Some insight and design of tooling for handling the extrudate from the die as it solidifies into the helical column.
Overall, this project requires a creative intuition about controlling plastic flow in an extrusion, and a deep understanding of Ansys or other software to iterate a novel design. Your final deliverable will be an design of the extruder die that delivers a dimensionally accurate Helical channel with multiple revolutions
