Quick DFM Tips
Essential design principles for injection molding success
Uniform Wall Thickness
Maintain consistent wall thickness (2-4mm for most parts) to prevent sink marks, warpage, and ensure uniform cooling.
Add Draft Angles
Include 1-3° draft angles on all vertical walls to facilitate easy part ejection and prevent surface damage.
Minimize Undercuts
Avoid or minimize undercuts to reduce tool complexity and cost. Use side actions or lifters when necessary.
Strategic Gate Location
Position gates to ensure optimal flow, minimize weld lines, and avoid visible marks on cosmetic surfaces.
