How Gate Design Affects Part Quality in Injection Molding
Success in plastic part manufacturing often depends on seemingly small part and mold design details. Gate location, size and type can significantly influence how a part fills, cools and performs. These factors directly affect the strength, appearance and dimensional accuracy of the finished component. Understanding Gate Design in Injection Molding ...

How Surface Finish, Texture, and Draft Angles Influence the Performance of Prototype Plastic Parts
Developing a successful plastic prototype isn’t just about getting the right geometry – the subtle details of surface finish, texture, and draft angles can dramatically affect plastic part performance. Prototype parts must often function like final production parts for design evaluation; issues like excessive friction, poor fit, or molding defects ...
