ABS rapid molding services provide affordable functional prototypes and low-volume production with fast turnaround using 3D printed molds to injection mold ABS plastic parts.
Durable ABS rapid molding resin grades provide optimal flow, easy release, and dimensional stability for 3D printed molds used in low-volume injection molding of ABS plastic components.
| Guideline | Description |
| Wall Thickness | Maintain uniform thickness for proper solidification. |
| Ribs and Bosses | Reinforce thin sections with ribs, add bosses for inserts. |
| Draft Angles | Include draft angles for easy ejection from the mold. |
| Fillets and Radii | Add fillets to reduce stress concentrations and sharp corners. |
| Gate Location | Place gates at thicker sections to ensure even filling. |
| Undercuts | Minimize undercuts to facilitate mold removal. |
| Material Selection | Choose ABS for its impact resistance and versatility. |
| Surface Finish | Indicate desired finish for aesthetics and function. |
| Tolerances | Specify tolerances considering shrinkage and dimensional accuracy. |
| Parting Line Location | Determine optimal parting line for easier mold separation. |
