Design for Manufacturing Guidelines
Best Practices for Optimal Results
Follow these proven design guidelines to ensure your parts are optimized for injection moulding and manufacturing success. Our recommendations are based on decades of experience and thousands of successful projects.
Optimal Wall Thickness Design
Maintain consistent wall thickness to prevent defects and ensure uniform material flow
Key Tips:
- Keep walls between 0.5-4.0mm for most plastics
- Maintain uniform thickness throughout the part
- Use ribs for structural reinforcement instead of thick sections
- Transition gradually between different thicknesses
Proper Draft Implementation
Include appropriate draft angles to facilitate part ejection and reduce tool wear
Key Tips:
- Apply minimum 0.5° draft to all vertical surfaces
- Increase draft for textured or deep surfaces
- Consider part geometry and ejection direction
- Use consistent draft direction throughout
Structural Reinforcement Design
Design ribs and gussets for optimal strength without causing manufacturing issues
Key Tips:
- Rib thickness should be 50-60% of wall thickness
- Provide adequate draft on rib sides
- Round all rib intersections with generous radii
- Avoid ribs that are too tall or thin
Complex Feature Management
Minimize undercuts and complex features to reduce tooling costs and complexity
Key Tips:
- Design for straight pull whenever possible
- Use side actions sparingly and strategically
- Consider snap-fit alternatives to undercuts
- Evaluate cost vs. functionality trade-offs
