Uniform
wall thickness This
solves the problem of uneven mold shrinkage stemming from difference
in wall thickness. The thick portion is designed uniform by
reducing wall thickness, but the core is made as large as possible.
A small core may be heated so that the molding cycle becomes
longer.
Thin
wall thickness Products
should be designed to have thin wall thickness in the range
that causes little problem in product functions, as thin wall
thickness is advantageous for the molding cycle.
Symmetrical
shape If
the product has a shape such that a circumference rib and core
shape may cause a temperature differential between the stationary
platen and the movable platen, warpage may occur by unbalanced
mold shrinkage stemming from a rib tip or a temperature difference.
In this case balance the mold shrinkage by employing symmetrical
shape.
Reinforcement
by ribs Warpage
cannot be avoided in some product configurations. In the case,
reinforcement ribs are made in order to prevent inclination
and warpage. Rib thickness is set 1/3-1/2 product base.
