Plastics “Polymers”Plastics - Polymers
Poly(many) Mer(parts):A large molecule made up of one or moreA large molecule made up of one or more
repeating units(mers) linked together by covalentchemical bonds Example:covalentchemical bonds. Example: polyethylene or poly(ethylene)
n = number of monomers reacting >> 1 2

Wall thicknessWall thickness• Uneven wall thickness present challenges to the plastic molder manufacturer.
Designing your part with uniform walls and cross section will simplify• Designing your part with uniform walls and cross section will simplify manufacturing and costing.
• At wall intersection or "tees" sinking will occur.• Thick walls cool slower and greater shrinking will occur.• Thin walls cool faster as thus, less shrinkage.
• Ways to deal with this "shrikage“
a) Unwanted sinkb) Disguise (texture)c) Core out topd) Core out bottome) Foaming agent (structfoam)

f) Gas assist moldingg) Spread sink over more area

Fillets, Draft and RibsFillets, Draft and Ribs• Your rules may be different…Your rules may be different…
• Fillets should be min ¼ X Wall thickness• Fillets should be min ¼ X Wall thickness• High stress parts, ¾ x Wall thickness• Draft min of 1 deg Finish affects draft• Draft min of 1 deg. Finish affects draft• Ribs should be 1/2 to 2/3 of the nominal wall
thickness and less than 3 times thickness in heightthickness and less than 3 times thickness in height. Taper of 1 deg. is typical. Note: excess thickness promotes shrinkage Excess rib height combinedpromotes shrinkage. Excess rib height combined with taper will produce thin sections requiring extra fill time at the mold.
