NONUNIFORM WALL THICKNESS - NO (A) PROBLEM FOR INJECTION MOLDERS

Injection moulded parts with abrupt wall thickness transitions are always a problem for the injection moulder; quite often these parts cannot be produced according to the drawings. Only if customers, designers, and manufacturers know the significant influence of such design faults on the quality of the finished product, the production of such reject mouldings can be avoided. An example from the health care field shows difficulties and solutions for an actual problem.
