Cost saving is not the only benefit of using gas assist injection molding for your large and design-challenging parts. Design Engineers are discovering that this technology is an attractive and preferred option for certain applications and requirements, offering many design benefits not available from other large part molding processes.
- Break through the size, weight, structure and stability barriers – design and mold larger, more complex parts
- Use less material and reduce part weight
- Thin walls and thick sections such as support ribs, screw bosses and standoffs can be combined in the same part
- Ideal for adding hollow sections to an otherwise flat part
- Part consolidation
- Thick areas normally requiring coring are cored with gas internally during the molding cycle
- Sink marks are eliminated
- Able to achieve high quality cosmetic surfaces
- Significantly improves dimensional stability over straight injection and structural web
- Eliminates warp
- Provides tight tolerances and exact fit of mating parts
- Reduced molded-in stress increases the chemical resistance of the material
