Resin Material Selection
Successful part designs are built on an understanding of potential process-related issues, such as improper mold fill, flash tendencies, ease of part ejection, warp potential, sinks and voids.
Early resin selection can give valuable information that will help the part design, making the quality of the parts better and more moldable. This will help in producing a part that achieves its requirements faster and more economically.
Application specific requirements will drive the need for a particular material properties like tensile strength, impact resistance, ductility, transparency, flexibility, corrosion resistance and electrical resistivity.
