Presentation:

 

Introduction to Understanding Shrink and Warp in Plastic Parts

Non-uniform shrinkage of plastic materials is the leading cause of warp within our molded parts.  This presentation provides users a fundamental understanding of the main causes of warp (thermal, orientation, volumetric shrinkage) so that existing warp problems can be resolved and future problems prevented upfront through proper mold and part design strategies. Industry case studies and example parts will be utilized in the presentation.   

Beaumont Technologies, Inc. is an engineering firm that offers a unique and high level of development, training, and consulting services for the injection molding industry. It was our focus on polymer flow and theology that has driven our own internal development of patented products revolving around the melt delivery system.
