Nov 22, 2011 · Moisture and shear are the two primary causes of splay on an injection molded part. Let’s first discuss moisture, as most of the time splay occurs because the resin has not been properly dried. Proper resin is a function of time/temperature.

Dec 8, 2023 · Injection-molded part aesthetics start with draft. Sufficient draft is an important part of any mold design, even with quick-turn tooling. Vertical walls, meaning those part surfaces parallel to the direction of mold operation, should have a minimum draft angle of a 1 / 2 degree, though 2 degrees is even better. Heavily textured surfaces may ...
