7 Common Defects with Injection Moulding and How to Avoid Them
With its ability to produce a high volume of plastic parts inexpensively, Injection Moulding is often a common manufacturing solution for many engineers. However, without proper attention to the design of parts, there are risks associated with the process.
Injection Moulding can occasionally produce results with defects. Some types of defects are more serious than others, and the prevalence of defects does depend on the nature of the part and the type of plastic used. However, by paying close attention to the design of parts, there are ways in which designers and machine operators can avoid and reduce the effects of defects.
Read our guide below to learn of common defects with Injection Moulding, and, more importantly, how to avoid them.
