| Plastic Injection Molding Design Considerations |
|
Use rounded corners. When the design does not allow for additional structures to improve strength, consider using a stronger material, such as glass fiber filled plastic. Consider specifying a fire retardant material when necessary. A small rough spot will appear at the gate; a small line will occur at the parting line; and a round mark will occur at ejector pins. Consider specifying where to place the gate and parting line and what surface finish to use - polished, matte, textured. Since a seam between two halves of a box is difficult to fully hide, consider making the joint pronounced - to make it look like it is decorative. Contoured parts warp less than flat parts.
