Injection Molding: Part Design
The product engineer should indicate the areas of the part that are cosmetic and those that are functional and include this information on the drawing.
Thermoplastic materials that have different properties in the flow direction versus the cross-flow direction (90° perpendicular to the flow direction) are characterized as "anisotropic" materials.
