TPE / TPU
Flexible materials for grips, seals, protective features, soft components, and vibration-related applications.
Plastic Injection Molding Design Considerations
Final feasibility depends on resin, part size, wall thickness, geometry, draft, shrinkage, undercuts, surface finish, tooling method, quantity, and inspection requirements.
| Design Element | Manufacturing Consideration | Buyer Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Thickness | Uniform walls help reduce sink marks, warpage, and uneven cooling | Avoid unnecessary thick-to-thin transitions |
| Draft Angles | Draft supports reliable mold release and reduces surface damage | Apply suitable draft to vertical faces and textured surfaces |
| Ribs and Bosses | Improve stiffness and mounting without excessive wall thickness | Balance strength with sink-mark and filling considerations |
| Undercuts | May require slides, lifters, inserts, or design changes | Use undercuts only where functionally necessary |
| Appearance Surfaces | Gate, parting line, ejector marks, texture, and color must be planned | Clearly identify cosmetic surfaces on drawings |
| Tolerances | Depend on resin shrinkage, geometry, mold construction, and process stability | Apply tight tolerances only to functional features |
