A method is introduced to predict the preferred direction of gas in gas assisted injection molding processes. The method requires a knowledge of the relations between resistance for the gas flow and process variables such as resin flow length, cross section area of cavity, melt temperature, and short shot. A simulation package was used to confirm the method.
