Plastic Part Design To insure a quality final product, it is necessary to start out with quality components. Injection molded parts can be molded to a high quality standard by focusing on these areas of plastic technology: 1) Correct Part Design2) Accurate Selection of Material3) Processing Plastic Processing Only by drawing on expertise from these three areas of plastic technology can a product designer create quality molded parts that maximize performance and are cost effective. The purpose of this design guide deals with the first of these three issues - part design. Correct Part Design GuidelinesIf there was only one rule for the injection molding process it would have to beto maintain uniform wall thickness. Here are some examples of problems associated with part designs that feature a non-uniform wall thickness. Sink marks due to uneven shrinkage Sink marks result from a wall yielding to the still shrinking interior mass. Stress due to uneven shrinkage A part with non-uniform wall thickness will cool unevenly, resulting in high molded-in stress. Voids due to uneven shrinkage The already cooled section will not yield to the shrinking action of the cooling interior mass causing voids in the thick portion of the part. Warping due to uneven shrinkage Concentrated stress at the junction of high low shrinkage area may cause a part to warp. Draft Plastic parts are always designed with a taper or draft in the direction of mold movement to allow part ejection or removal from the mold. Since plastics shrink when cooled, it is common for parts to shrink (or grip tightly) to cores. A good definition for draft would be: the degree of taper of a side wall or rib needed to allow the molded plastic part to be removed from the metal mold. Without proper draft, plastic parts may be difficult to remove from the mold. A draft angle of 1/2 degrees is regarded as minimum for most applications. Draft angles of 1 1/2 to 2 degrees per side are considered n
