Injection Molded Parts Design

From CN Mould & Plastic Limited

Draft angle is necessary for easy removal of molded part from the mold. Draft angle should be applied in the direction of draw from the cavity and core.

Parts with textured surface require greater draft angle in order to avoid scratches on the textured surface as the part is being removed from the mold. 1 to 3 degrees normally applies to moderately matte or sand-blasted surfaces and 3 to 5 degrees for roucher surface.
