A-B-A Sequence of a Co-Injection Process

You can simulate an A-B-A sequence of a Co-injection molding process.

During an A-B-A sequence, first a skin material (polymer A) is injected followed by a core material (polymer B). Toward the end of the process, a small amount of the skin material is reinjected to ensure the complete encapsulation of the core material.

The image shows settings for an A-B-A sequence where 60% of the cavity fills with material A. After a time delay of 0.2 seconds, material B is injected to fill 35% of volume. Injection switches back to material A to fill the last 5% of cavity volume.
