Undercut Design • Undercuts rounded to avoid tearing of part & stress concentration. • Ejectors should be large to avoid penetrating the part. • Cycle time (specially hold pressure time) should be optimum to avoid excessive shrinkage. • POM Undercut = ((B-A)/B) £ 5%

Rib Designs Rib & Sink Marks Alternative to ribs
Ten rules for designers • Aim for uniform wall thickness. • Design wall thickness as thin as possible and only as thick as necessary. • Use ribbing instead of greater wall thickness. • Provide radiusing. • Provide demoulding tapers. • Avoid undercuts. • Do not design to greater precision than required. • Design multi-functional components. • Use economic assembly techniques. • Gate moulding on the thickest wall.
