Fillets and chamfers are two ways to design the edges where two surfaces of a part meet. Both fillets and chamfers are used to ease sharp edges and corners. Chamfer and fillet design are important in manufacturing, assembling, and using parts. Both design features can reduce stress concentrations and improve custom parts aesthetics. However, there

Injection molding is a widely used method for producing custom plastic parts in large quantities. At the core of this process is the runner system, an essential component that guides molten plastic into molds. The injection mold runner design can have an impact on product quality, cycle time, and costs. In this article, we’ll discuss

The injection molding sprue act as the channel for plastic to enter the mold cavities. However, the placement and design of the sprue can greatly affect the finished part’s quality and the molding process efficiency. Let’s delve into sprues in injection molding and important considerations for their design and use. What is a Sprue in

Molded parts designing is complex and involves a multitude of factors such as functional requirements, material selection, and structural considerations. Various elements, including wall thickness, draft, ribs, holes, and bosses, must be carefully considered to create effective molded part designs. This blog explores fundamental guidelines for molded parts boss design. Following these guidelines can improve

Undercut in injection molding is a design that allows the creation of parts with complex shapes. However, these complex designs often present a challenge – molded parts with undercuts are difficult to remove from the mold. The undercuts also increase the complexity and associated costs of a project. In this article, We will explore what
