Dec 17, 2024 · 1. Understanding the Effect of Pressure Losses on Injection Molded Parts. The compressibility of plastics as a class of materials means the pressure punched into the machine control and the pressure the melt experiences at the end of fill within the mold will be very different. What does this difference mean for process consistency and part ...

Dec 8, 2023 · Injection-molded part aesthetics start with draft. Sufficient draft is an important part of any mold design, even with quick-turn tooling. Vertical walls, meaning those part surfaces parallel to the direction of mold operation, should have a minimum draft angle of a 1 / 2 degree, though 2 degrees is even better. Heavily textured surfaces may ...
