Plastic Part Design. An Introduction

Plastic Part Design. An Introduction

Plastic Part Design. An Introduction goal  is to assist the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Because injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the production of parts, a full understanding of the integrated design process presented is essential to achieving economic and functional design goals. This book features over 425 drawings and photographs. Contents: Introduction to Materials. Manufacturing Considerations for Injection Molded Parts. The Design Process and Material Selection. Structural Design Considerations. Prototyping and Experimental Stress Analysis. Assembly of Injection Molded Plastic Parts.

Unfortunately, designing injection molded plastic parts can be an extremely difficult task due to the complexities of both the part geometry and the molding process. It is also very difficult for even experienced designers to work with new plastic material grades that may process and perform in a different manner than those materials used previously.
