Factors Affecting Molded Material Shrinkage in Injection Molding
Determining material shrinkage is one of the more challenging tasks in developing injection-molded parts. Material shrinkage behavior can be affected by material structure (semicrystalline vs. amorphous polymers), cooling conditions, processing parameters and even part design. All of these factors influence how a part contracts as it solidifies, affecting dimensional accuracy ...
