prototype tooling and production tooling are both used on the same kind of plastic parts, and the choice between them changes tooling cost, lead time and the properties of the finished part.
UV stabilised HDPE and standard HDPE are both used on the same kind of plastic parts, and the choice between them changes tooling cost, lead time and the properties of the finished part. The
scorched sheet surface is one of the faults that shows up during sampling on any new thick gauge tool. It is visible on the part, but the cause is usually in the mould, the heating cycle or
