Consider the wall thickness. Some factories will tell you that they can only produce injection mold parts with consistent wall thickness. While this can make manufacturing parts easier, it is not part of the overall process. However, different wall thicknesses do lead to more difficult processes. This is due to the cooling process mentioned above: thicker wall areas are cooler and solidify more slowly than thin wall areas. Coupled with the shrinkage factor during cooling, this means that improperly designed molds and products can be affected by uncooled, still liquefied substrates, and the substrate will run where it should not be placed.
Manage this potential problem by considering manufacturability when designing parts. For example, a thicker area may be located at a lower portion of the mold, allowing gravity to help maintain the still cooled material in its location. Questions? We are always happy to provide our professional design and manufacturing, and can help you build the parts you need, taking into account the actual process.
Nicely defined! Thanks for sharing such an informative post! This is a great article, and something I think needs to be communicated more often. Undoubtedly, every good mold manufacturer keeps such things in their mind during the manufacturing process. Thanks for sharing such a nice post. Keep sharing such information!!
Thanks for your good suggestions in mold design,in fact, many mold designers often neglect these problems.
