Advancements in Synthetic Data Extraction for Industrial Injection Molding
In injection molding, acquiring high-fidelity real-world data is time-consuming and costly, severely limiting the generalizability of machine learning models. To address this, we propose an LSTM-based modeling framework that synergistically integrates synthetic and real data. A high-fidelity simulation model of the production process generates physically consistent synthetic data, while a tunable data injection strategy enhances dataset diversity without compromising physical plausibility. This approach alleviates reliance on large-scale labeled real data, significantly improving model robustness and prediction accuracy under complex operating conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that judicious incorporation of synthetic data boosts model performance by 12.7%, while concurrently reducing annotation effort, equipment wear, and material waste. Our work establishes a reusable and scalable data augmentation paradigm for data-scarce industrial applications.
