Understanding All The Plastics Terms Required For Injection Molded Plastics Is Crucial For Designers

For a very long time, one of the most popular methods for creating plastic parts was Injection Molded Plastics. They can be found in doghouses, automotive interior parts, electrical housings, housewares, medical devices, and compact discs. The standard criteria listed below can be used to design parts for injection molding while keeping manufacturability in mind.


Some plastics are more sensitive to wall thickness than others; acetal and ABS plastics have a maximum wall thickness of about 0.12 inches (3 millimeters), while acrylic can be made up to 0.75 inches (18 millimeters), polyurethane up to 0.75 inches, and some fiber-reinforced plastics up to 1 inch (25 millimeters) or more. Nonetheless, it is important for designers to understand that too thick cross sections may result in more aesthetic flaws like sinks. While designing plastic parts, draught angle design is crucial. Plastic material shrinkage causes  Injection Molded Plastics objects to frequently shrink around a core.


Due to increased friction between the core and the component and higher contact pressure on the surface of the core, it becomes challenging to remove the part from the mold. Thus, it is important to appropriately construct draught angles to aid in part ejection. Moreover, this shortens the cycle time and boosts output. On the part's internal and external walls in the pulling direction, draught angles should be applied.
