Discover why the secret to flawless plastic products lies not just in the design, but in the geometry that shapes their very essence!

In plastic injection molding, geometry isn't just a design element—it's a critical factor that influences the quality, efficiency, and durability of the final product.

Why Geometry Matters in five simple steps:

1️⃣ Uniform Wall Thickness: Consistent wall thickness is essential to prevent defects like warping and sink marks. It ensures even cooling and solidification, leading to higher-quality parts.

2️⃣ Draft Angles: Incorporating draft angles facilitates the easy ejection of parts from the mold, reducing friction and minimizing defects. Even a small draft angle can make a significant difference. Draft angles of 1.5 to 2 degrees per side are considered standard

3️⃣ Radii and Fillets: Sharp corners can create stress concentrations, leading to material failure. Generous radii and fillets distribute stress more evenly, enhancing structural integrity.

4️⃣ Undercuts: While undercuts can complicate the molding process, careful design can mitigate these challenges, ensuring efficient molding and ejection.

5️⃣ Gate Design: The gate is the entry point for molten plastic. Its design impacts the filling pattern, part quality, and post-molding processing. Proper gate design ensures optimal filling without excessive pressure.

At ADIS Tachov s.r.o. we understand the importance of these geometric principles, and with decades of experience in manufacturing high-quality parts, we ensure that every product we create meets stringent quality standards and performs reliably and efficiently. What may seem like a minefield to navigate is child's play to our team! 💪
