These materials have been formulated using select metallic fillers and
engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
Gate
type should be selected based on location and
part geometry .
Area = πr2
• Stress (σ) = Force (F) / Area (A)
• Strain (¤) = Stress (σ) / Modulus ( E )
• Change in Length (ΔL) = Length (L) * Strain (¤)
MOLD DESIGN GUIDELINES
Layout Design
A & B Plate thicknesses are determined by the
depth of the part geometry plus 3 times the water
line thickness (Usually .375") .2
Support Plate Thickness
Use recommended plate from mold base
selection, add support pillars if deflection or
stress is too high .
