Top ten design tips..... for moulded plastic components

摘要

The following article highlights key considerations for engineers when designing plastic components that are . intended for this type of injection moulding. Selecting the correct thermoplastic resin is crucially important to the form, fit and functionality of a moulded component. There will always be a trade-off with the many different pros and cons for each material's properties -such as shrinkage, impact and chemical resistance, mechanical strength, flexibility, temperature resistance, optical properties and so on. But with the list of available materials running into the tens of thousands, there's plenty of choice available.
