在设计产品时,很容易创建适合该产品意图的所有要求的东西,而无需考虑制造过程。很多时候,可能尚不清楚将使用哪种制造过程来生产最终产品。

We have put together 6 design tips to help engineers with designing for injection molding.
Tip 1: Do not design a part with non-uniform nominal wall thickness
- 各个不同的壁厚会在整个过程中产生不均匀的填充cavity
- 较薄的部分比较厚的区域更快,导致高应力的区域发生变形和扭曲
- It is recommended to core out the thick areas to create uniform walls, which will reducecycle timeand plastic usage and improve part cosmetics
- Depending on the type of material being used, nominal wall thickness should not vary more than 15%
Tip 2: Do identify possible sink areas and design them out
- Sink areas are likely to occur at intersections of a rib and nominal wall where proper design guidelines are not followed
- Rule of thumb: Ribs should be a maximum of 70% of nominal wall, but 60% is preferred

Tip 3: Do create radii on all corners
*注意:肋骨上的半径太大会导致水槽
- Sharp inside corners become stressed and outside corners are difficult to fill and trap air
- Avoid radii onparting line– causes excess expense on tool build
- Adding radii improves fill of corners and distributes stress across a larger area
- .030" radius minimum if possible and if radii are less than .010" they are not worth adding to design
- 将半径放在设计树的尽头,使与DFM工程师的合作更加容易
Tip 4: Do allow at least 1° draft for part release
- For textured surface, more draft is required – follow texture guidelines
- If possible, more than 1° draft is better
- 3° draft or more is needed when parting line transitions from one level to another
- Less than 3° draft causes the steel to squeeze together when mold closes making the mold harder to pull apart and creating drag marks on the part

Tip 5: Do not design bad steel conditions
- 当设想创建零件形状所需的钢时,请避免非常锋利,高且脆弱的钢条件
- 钢会变热并且变脆
- 钢制条件高度应尽可能不超过宽度的4倍
- When in a corner, one rib is better than two to allow the steel to cool better

Tip 6: Do not design deep ribs with square corners
- It will trap gas and cause short shots
- 弹出部分会更困难
