1-3° (depending on material)

Ensures easy removal of the part from the mold without damaging delicate features or surfaces.

Minimum 0.8mm diameter

Prevents issues with material flow, ensures proper filling, and avoids blockage in small holes.

±0.1mm for tight tolerances, ±0.3mm for general parts

Achieves high-precision parts within the capabilities of rapid molding processes like injection molding.

1-4mm for plastics, 2-6mm for metals

Uniform wall thickness prevents warping, ensures consistent cooling, and reduces stress.

Minimum 0.5mm for sharp corners

Prevents stress concentrations, ensures uniform flow of material, and reduces mold wear.

Near thickest part or optimal flow path

Strategic gate placement helps to avoid flow marks, air pockets, and uneven filling.

Ra 1.6-3.2 µm (for injection molded parts)

Specifies the desired finish to control the aesthetics and functional requirements (e.g., matte or glossy).

Minimize or use side cores for undercuts

Minimizing overhangs avoids difficult molding, while side cores allow for complex part features without affecting moldability.

Choose based on performance (e.g., ABS, Nylon, Stainless Steel, Ceramic)

Selection based on the part’s strength, temperature, flexibility, and application needs (e.g., aerospace, automotive).

Use air-assisted ejection or conformal cooling systems

Prevents part deformation, ensures smooth ejection, and reduces cycle times, especially in complex parts.
