Advanced Composites | Lightweighting Switching from metals to engineered thermoplastic composite materials offers numerous advantages: Reduced part weight

Home // Products // Thermoplastic Elastomers // TPE Knowledge Center // Injection Molding Guide // Injection Molding: Part Design // 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.
