Reduce the likelihood of sink marks, warpage, voids, and molded-in stress. Achieve uniformity.
When considering any new plastic injection molded production run, achieving a consistent wall thickness during production helps reduce the occurrence of internal stresses and potential weak points within the product. When the walls are of uniform thickness, the material cools and solidifies at a more even rate, which minimizes warping, sink marks, and other deformations that can compromise the strength and reliability of the finished item. This uniformity is particularly essential for applications where precision and durability are paramount, such as in automotive parts.
Aside from the benefits above, another significant advantage is improved production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Simply put, uniform walls facilitate a more predictable and stable flow of molten plastic during the injection process, which reduces the likelihood of defects and rejections. This leads to lower waste and higher yield rates, ultimately resulting in cost savings. Something we all appreciate.
Finally, managing to set a uniform wall thickness also plays a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetic quality and surface finish. Uneven walls can cause variations in the appearance, such as surface waviness, blemishes, and gloss differences, which can be undesirable, especially for top-end consumer-facing products such as components in cars where the appearance of the product significantly impacts marketability and consumer satisfaction.
