Frequently asked questions
Do plastics designers also take mould design into account?
Good plastics designers think about the mould too: demoulding, wall thicknesses, gate points and shrinkage. There are specialists for filling simulation with Moldflow or Cadmould. Enter simulation as a requirement if you need it.
