In recent years, as a type of smart materials, shape memory polymers (SMPs) are being popular in industrial applications. Thermoplastic shape memory polyurethane (SMPU), which is a type of shape memory polymers, is become interesting because of the properties which are easily moulding and reusability. As commonly in commercial thermoplastic materials, it is expecting that using injection moulding process for shaping permanent shapes of the parts moulded by SMPU. In this study, the part quality was investigated by using short shot; air traps, and part weight in the permanent shape of injection moulded SMPU specimens. The relationship among injection pressure, melt temperature, mould temperature, packing pressure, and time, cooling time and short shod air traps and part weight were inspected experimentally. The design of experiment was prepared by using Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array and experimental data was evaluated by ANOVA. While the effect of injection pressure, and melt temperature on short shot was found to be significant statistically, air traps were affected by injection pressure and mould temperature. It was found that the effective parameters on part weight are injection pressure, melt temperature, mould temperature and packing pressure, respectively.
